- Yoga & Love
Often described, as a maverick, unconventional rebel Yogi, speaker, author, actor, workout junkie, coach and entrepreneur; Vish is a rare cocktail of spirituality, science and entrepreneur all rolled into one. By example of his own 30 year meditation practice, coupled with, being born into a Brahmin family lineage of several generations of Vedic Yoga scholars & masters in Southern India, Vish is a die hard believer that solutions to all human problems (including finding romantic love) lie in Yoga meditation and Yoga lifestyle. Given his degrees in fields as varied as biology, french and graduate degrees in information systems and business, it is ironical to see his extraordinary insight into the psyche of love. Vish’s strength lies in his intuitive ability to help anybody find love(even Miley Cyrus), no matter how many times you have failed in relationships. His optimism spills from his own experience and his unique scientific yoga methods of finding love. He has lived in India, Southern Africa and the U.S, presently lives in Los Angeles with his wife Deypika. He considers,getting laid off from his software consulting position as one of his greatest blessings. In his free time, he can be seen drinking chai, laughing, watching movies with his wife or boxing away in a MMA gym. His motto in life is “find happiness within first” all good things will follow.

- Burden of Breath
Ann Minnett grew up in Denver and considered the Rocky Mountains as home. However, she spent the following decades in Dallas working as a Developmental Psychologist and Program Evaluator for social service agencies. She conducted research in child and family development and was affiliated with The University of Texas–Dallas, as researcher, lecturer and Adjunct Associate Professor. In that time Ann collaborated on one self-help book and published research reports in the fields of Education, Psychology, and Program Evaluation. Meanwhile, she quietly wrote stories for pleasure and self-expression. Ann is a mother of two, grandmother to one, and now lives with her husband in the Salish Mountains of NW Montana with views of the Whitefish and Swan Ranges – not to mention distant peaks of Glacier National Park – out her back door. She’s set aside her research career to incorporate what she learned into her fiction. Most recently, Ann published her first novel, Burden of Breath, and a short story entitled “Offerings” appeared in the Summer 2013 issue of Sixfold, an online journal.

- This Crazy Little Thing (A New Adult Billionaire Romance)
Tamryn Ward is the alter-ego of USA Today and New York Times Bestselling erotic romance author Tawny Taylor. Tamryn is an Amazon bestselling author of New Adult/Mature Young Adult fiction. She turned to writing after deciding being an engineer without an engineering degree wasn't a great way to make a living. Writing, on the other hand, is her passion, especially writing romantic stories with an edge. She has an absolutely useless bachelor's degree in Liberal Arts, and when she isn't writing, she spends her time hiking in the woods with her (not so cooperative) husband and kids, and snapping photographs of anything or anyone willing to sit still long enough for her to get a decent shot. She's still a little slow with the photography thing. Thus, her favorite model is, of course, the slug--though you would be surprised by how fast those little buggers can move.
