Maria Denison on Creativity Persistence and Success | 1,537 Maria Denison spent nearly a decade bringing a story to life that refused to let go of her imagination. What began as a passion project in 2014 evolved into The Reflex Series, an ambitious five-book saga that blends mystery, suspense, romance, and the supernatural into a genre-defying reading experience. Through years of revisions, setbacks, and persistence, Maria remained committed to the world she had created, ultimately completing the series and releasing The Reflex Consolidated Version in 2025. Her stories are driven by more than plot twists and intrigue. They explore human connection, resilience, secrets, and the unseen forces that shape our lives, all wrapped inside a fast paced narrative that keeps readers guessing. Having lived across New England, the Midwest, and now the West Coast, Maria brings a broad perspective and rich life experience to her writing. While continuing to expand The Reflex Series, she …

1,473 | Russell Anders on Turning Ideas Into Compelling Stories Russell Anders has been building worlds since childhood, when a simple question, “Then what happens?” turned into a lifelong habit of creating stories filled with imagination and tension. He went on to channel that curiosity into a career as a technical writer and writing coach for software companies, helping others communicate complex ideas with clarity and structure. Along the way, he also contributed as a columnist for Dragon Magazine, staying close to the storytelling roots that first inspired him. Outside of his professional work, Russell is deeply immersed in tabletop role playing as a game master, where he crafts challenging, unpredictable narratives that keep players fully engaged. That same storytelling edge carries into his writing, where his characters rarely have it easy. He shares his life with two English Mastiffs, Sigurd and Rig, who bring both intelligence and chaos into his daily routine. ━━━…

1,378 | Terry Bean Reveals the Magic That Lives Inside Us All Terry Bean has always believed in magic, long before she ever wrote a book about it. Her optimistic outlook began in fourth grade when she played Mother Nature in a school play, walking on stage to a dark, messy world and walking off transformed, wearing a beautiful gown and rose-colored glasses. Those glasses never really came off. She has spent her life seeing the world through compassion, curiosity, and a belief that anything can become beautiful with the right perspective. That outlook guided her through every chapter of her journey.

Like the main character in her award-winning picture book The Little Pot, Dawn is a vessel created by the Potter. As she allows her Creator to produce the fruit of the Spirit through her, Dawn loves helping others discover how they too can be “fruit pots” growing love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. Like Little Pot, Dawn’s journey to discovering her true identity and purpose took time. She sought fulfillment as an educator, wife, mother, fundraising director, sales manager, business owner, and school principal.
