About MeI am an illustrator, author, and video game developer from the Lower Mainland of BC.

I am open to doing readings for young children, as well as doing author talks with creative drawing workshops for kids ranging from K-Grade 6.

Barbara Nickel Author / Speaker http://barbaranickel.ca
About MeI'm the author of poetry, a picture book, and three middle grade novels. My newest novel, Dear Peter, Dear Ulla (Fall 2021), is about the friendship between two cousins, one who lives in a Mennonite community in Saskatchewan, and one who lives in Danzig (now Poland) at the beginning of World War II. Although historical, the novel confronts issues such as bullying and racism that resonate today. My poetry book takes the reader through the seasons on the Canadian prairies. My picture book, A Boy Asked the Wind, follows the adventures of a boy and the wind all over the world, and speaks to world peace.

Braden Hallett Author / Illustrator / Speaker http://www.bradenhallett.com
About MeI'm an author and illustrator from Kamloops BC. I'm a fan of the weird, the wacky and the strange and love writing scary stories that make people scream (and laugh). My creative process is best described as a perpetual state of screeching panic which, though terrible for my general health, apparently makes for entertaining stories. I enjoy board games, card games, roleplaying games like Dungeons and Dragons, and am profoundly allergic to cats. Profoundly allergic. Profoundly.

Caroline Woodward Author / Speaker http://www.carolinewoodward.ca
About MeI grew up on a Peace River homestead, attended high school while staying in a dormitory in Fort St. John and went on to UBC to earn a B.A. and Teacher's Certificate. I have worked, studied and travelled in Canada, Sri Lanka, India, Nepal, Europe, and the UK, serving as a volunteer in Sri Lanka with Canadian Crossroads International and as a group leader with Canada World Youth to Sri Lanka and India. I then earned a Diploma in Creative Writing from David Thompson University Centre in Nelson.

My writing career (i.e., paid work) began with a weekly column in the Alaska Highway News for two years while still in high school and since then, I've published poetry, non-fiction essays and journalism, short and long fiction, stage and radio plays, and children's literature. So far I've published nine books and I am at work on two more children's books for my publisher.

After working a great variety of white, pink and blue collar jobs, I am now writing nearly full-time while working shifts as the assistant lightkeeper at the Lennard Island Lightstation near Tofino.
