Lori Wolf-Heffner is the author of the young adult series Between Worlds and the sweet romance series Love on Belmont. Inspired by her great-grandmother's story, Lori wrote and published Between Worlds 1: The Move in 2018. In this series, girls strive to grow up according to their dreams. Whether Juliana today is still trying to discover her life's goals or Elisabeth in 1920 dreams of fulfilling her community's expectations of her, it's up to them to decide what paths they want to follow. In 2020, Lori wanted to branch out into a series for adults that would still have connections to her favourite neighbourhood and even to Between Worlds. Books and tea went well together, but she knew that basing a series in a real but very small location like Belmont Village came with a high level of responsibility: readers might assume that what Lori wrote about had actually happened in real life. She approached the owner of All Things Tea, the real tea shop in Belmont Village, to ensure she could create a fictional tea shop in a romance series. She was given the green light, and Love on Belmont was born.Lori was an inaugural member of the Canadian National Tap Team, wrote and submitted a Star Trek novel in her teens (it was rejected-she needed an agent), and spent one day twice in Luxembourg and 15 minutes once in Switzerland. She can also do cartwheels.
Heather Wright is a Canadian located in the San Francisco Bay Area and is a first-time author. She has enjoyed terrific careers that use her fancy Master's degrees in Chemical Engineering and Fine Arts too. She has done odd things like get her name on a toner patent for Xerox and led a significant historical clock restoration project for Queen's University. Yet her only real credentials for writing this book are her enviable gender (female) and age (in her 40s). She wrote this book because, for goodness sake, someone had to.
Susan Fish is a writer and editor living in Waterloo, Ontario, Canada with her husband and dog and sometimes with her adult children. She has two Masters degrees, one in Religion and Culture, one in Theological Studies. Her writing has appeared in various literary and trade publications, and she has written widely for the nonprofit sector. On her first visit to Italy, Susan learned to make pasta and almost wandered into a prison while looking for the opera house. On her second trip--a whirlwind 24-hour solo research trip--she accidentally drank from the wrong water fountain, and lived to tell the tale. At home, she gets around by bicycle, hosts play-reading parties, and stays up too late reading and writing. Renaissance is her third novel.
