Avalynn Ly is a Texas-born singer-songwriter whose music you might describe as a confident blend of girly-pop, acoustic country, and early‑2000s girl‑power angst. Raised in Dallas and self‑taught on guitar at age 13, she channels the influences of Michelle Branch, Avril Lavigne, Maren Morris, and Sheryl Crow into anthemic, heartfelt tracks like her latest singles “Good At Heart” and “Call It What You Want". By day, she's a compassionate physician assistant in Houston, and off‑shift she's an actress, dancer, and open‑mic regular who brings that same genuine, powerhouse energy to every stage. Whether she's writing or performing, Avalynn's Texas‑rooted authenticity and self‑taught spirit shine through, making her a bold new voice in the singer-songwriter space.

Emma Kate is a contemporary romance author who creates spicy love stories that always end in a Happily Ever After (HEA). She writes under a pseudonym and tries to infuse her love for romance and humor into each book. With her first book, Forever Wild, she will introduce readers to the swoon-worthy and sarcasm-filled Wild Bluffs Series.
The Wild Bluffs Series is a collection of stand-alone contemporary romance novels set in the fictional town of Wild Bluffs, Colorado. Each book features its own unique love story, but the characters are related (well, most of them!) and each book is connected through the small-town charm and spirit of Wild Bluffs.
Emma grew up playing sports and reading books, often devouring novels on long car rides to the city. Her love for stories started at a young age, but it wasn't until she was in her early twenties that she became the voracious reader she is today. After over a decade working in philanthropy and consulting, Emma decided to follow her heart (and her husband's encouragement) and write the stories she loves to read.

Kathleen Marden is an author, on camera expert, actress, conference presenter, experiencer advocate, and hypnosis practitioner. She has researched the perplexing nature of UFOs and the non-human entities associated with highly advanced aerial vehicles via her own groundbreaking research, investigation, and experimentation. Her research has extended to archival collections and the US government's involvement in the investigation of UFOs and its major studies. This has combined to give her a depth of knowledge that few possess. She is the 2021 recipient of the International UFO Congress Lifetime Achievement Award.
Her interest in UFOs and contact began in 1961, when her aunt and uncle, Betty and Barney Hill had a close encounter and subsequent abduction in New Hampshire's White Mountains. She spent fifteen years in painstaking investigation of the Hill abduction case and continues to seek the scientific analysis of the compelling evidence.
Kathleen has lectured at conferences across the United States and in Canada, Mexico, Brazil, and the UK. Additionally, she has given video lectures in Denmark, Italy, and China.
