Nugget of Hope, "If there is something you really want to do, go all in."

Jonni Jordyn, born in Oakland, CA, started playing music at age two and moved on to singing and acting in grade school. High School introduced writing, filmmaking, drawing, and photography in college. In other words, she had a very liberal arts education.

Jonni published some poetry and India ink drawings in literary magazines while in college and won critical acclaim for her acting in a cabaret theater, but she was faced with a decision to pick the arts she wanted to pursue.

Of all the available opportunities, music and songwriting won the first round when she performed with legendary stars of the sixties and seventies.

Round two began years later, after leaving California for Arizona. It all started with a blank piece of paper and the question, "How can I possibly write more than eleven thousand words for a single story?" A valid question that was followed up a year later with, "How did I ever write 160,000 words?"

Now, the writing comes much easier, but still, there are questions like, "How will I ever get all these ideas written down?" followed closely by, "How many times can I edit the same book?"

Jonni currently lives in Colorado.

Nugget of Hope:

"You are capable of not only surviving but thriving through far tougher situations than you thought possible. But you also need a diverse community to help do this far more than you assume."

CC Robinson has been writing stories—mostly in her mind—since she was little. Her first officially published book was a 27-page fiction work in fourth grade about a white family who marched with Dr. King. This was before the internet, so of course, she had no idea another book already existed about this.

Since then, she’s undertaken various non-fiction and fiction works, blogs, and pens far too many emails.

By day, she is a wife, mom, pastor, and finance director for her Cincinnati church. By night, she throws on her superhero cape to rescue her own dystopian world, Divided.

You can often find her in her garden, on the dance floor (salsa!), or reading a book by the fire.
