For more than 70 years Sulima Malzin has found writing (in Toni Morrison’s words) to be a way of … not just feeling, but thinking about things that are disparate, unresolved, mysterious, problematic, or just sweet. She considers herself lucky to have been able to learn through direct experience, and not without scars, to accept Life with a capital L on its own terms … a fragile weave of light & dark, joy & sorrow, grace & grit … and to write about it using words that both trudge and dance.

Maya Bairey lives on the banks of the Columbia river in Portland, Oregon, with her husband and their old cat, Dory. Turning from corporate writing to storytelling, Maya was surprised to find she had a bunch of passionate stories inside her, where stuck people learn to live out loud. Maya invites readers to have a fun escape, but also to look inward, discovering their own creative and emotional depths.
