Ruth Smith Meyer

 

Tyson's Sad Bad Day (2009)
Not Far From the Tree (2008)
Not Easily Broken (2007)

Ruth Smith Meyer’s creative nature, cultivated love for reading, vivid imagination and ability to empathize have helped her become a keen observer of people and nature around her.    Although Tyson’s Sad Bad Day is Smith Meyer’s first published children’s book, it is not the first time she has written a story to fit an occasion. Since reading books often helped her through personal challenges, stories are a logical way for her to reach out to help others through their own.  Smith Meyer’s varied work experience with people from children to seniors mirrors her love and enjoyment of humanity.

Rob Stermscheg

  The Prussian Lieutenant (2009)
The Marabout’s Secret (2009)


Robert Stermscheg, born in Europe in 1956, was exposed to many wonderful writers—Edgar Rice Burroughs, Alexandre Dumas, and of course Karl May. He appreciated how they opened up a whole new world to our imaginations through their portrayal of life. The entire family moved to Canada in 1967, eventually settling in Manitoba. Robert was involved in chess, hockey, flying, but always kept up his interest in the German language. His passion to share the works of Karl May, largely unknown in North America, resulted in the search for English translations. After retiring from a satisfying career with the Winnipeg Police
Service in 2006, he had the opportunity to pursue his dream—translating one of Karl May’s novels into English. His wife, Toni, embraced his dream and encouraged him in the writing process. Robert resides in Winnipeg and is currently working on his third book, Buried Secrets.

One Goal: A Praise & Prayer Journal (2009)

Gerry Organ is a former Grey Cup Champion (1973 and 1976) who played a total of twelve years in the Canadian Football League from 1971 to 1983. He chose to follow Jesus Christ in 1973 and began his own journey of faith while leading a rather chaotic life involving football, family, business and education. His early morning prayer life was established right away and he credits those times with the relative stability and 'prosperity' that he enjoyed. After co-founding and managing the Ottawa Athletic Club, Gerry served as a Family Counselor, then as an associate Pastor at The Peoples Church, and as Executive Director of Christian Business Ministries Canada. He currently is engaged with One Way Ministries of Ottawa and specializes in marketplace ministry. He resides with his wife Lore, in King City, Ontario.
