• Teresa Arseneau
  Theresa wrote her first story when she was nine years old, but she was creating stories long before that. She must have been an easy child to raise, because she could entertain herself for hours with seemingly nothing - creating strange worlds, creatures and characters in her imagination with nothing more than a knothole in a tree for inspiration. Learning to write these thoughts down for others to read and to build upon herself was one of her happiest discoveries.

• Bailey Mapp (Kids' Club Historical FictionOnline - Ghost Bandits)
  Bailey is a major in the United States Air Force, currently assigned to the Office of Clinical Laboratory Affairs in Washington, DC. He and his wife, Elizabeth, have been married for fourteen years. Along with their dog, Libbie, they live wherever God and the Air Force sends them. Bailey has been writing and selling short stories to fiction journals for the last few years, but has more and more felt drawn to write stories that were glorifying to God. When asked about writing a young adult novel for Reconciliation Press, he believed the opportunity was God sent. It's Bailey's desire that the yet to be published Escape From The Underworld will be a novel that young adults truly enjoy and one that also pleases parents by the lessons that are learned.

  Christine is Reconciliation Press' Canadian Connection! Residing in an igloo amid fifteen-foot snow drifts, Christine dresses in scarlet Mountie coats under polar-bear-fur parkas and drives a team of nine sled dogs once a month to the closest center of civilization, Sunburst, Montana. Intrigued? Good. Now you can forget everything you just read, because it's not true. Read on!

Christine Stobbe

Christine was born in Toronto, Ontario in 1974, and grew up in Calgary, Alberta. She and her computer-programming husband now reside on an acreage in central Alberta.

Christine is the stay-at-home mother of one child, and the caretaker of two green parakeets and a large dog, The Artful Dodger, who, although she is part Malamute, has never pulled a sled in her life.

Christine has been writing short stories, poetry and novels since the age of six. She was the winner of several local poetry and short fiction contests throughout her grade-school years, and finally, after years of practice, perseverance, and hard work, produced her first published novel, "Fool's Gold," in May, 2000.

Christine was home-schooled from the eighth to the twelfth grade, then started work as a beautician in 1992. She discovered that beauty salons are wonderful places to talk to all kinds of interesting people whose weird quirks and foibles can be woven into various characters for numerous stories. (All names have been changed!)

When she's not busy writing, Christine indulges in her other passion-horses! She and her husband run a small boarding/training stable and riding school, and Christine enjoys riding in show jumping competitions.

Christine's other hobbies and interests include singing, musical theater, reading, computer games, and bicycling.

Teresa Arseneau

Over the years she has written reams of pages, most of which would never see the light of day, let alone the inside of a book or magazine. But eventually she sharpened her skills enough to attract the attention of a few publishers. While she is still far from what you could call a successful author, she does have over 20 publications to her credit, including:

• Several Devotional articles in 3 books (Seasons of a Woman's Heart; Treasures of a Woman's Heart; A Growing Heart) by Starburst Publishers
• Several Biblical stories and articles in denominational magazines
• One radio play, broadcast twice in Scotland by Tru2Life Productions
• Several stage plays, performed locally
• One article in Companion Parrot Quarterly
