Author bio:
James Koumis was born in August 1971, the youngest of six children of a working-class Cypriot family. They lived in East London until he was 13, when the whole family moved to North London. James’ childhood was harsh and strict, and he had to work for the family business from the age of seven, depriving him of his childhood. He and his siblings received no guidance in life outside the home from his peers or family and he was not able to focus or study effectively at school. At 18, finding life at home unbearable, James left. At the age of 35 he had a ‘wake-up call’ and went through some challenging times, personally and financially. His loving wife Leigh and their three children stood by him during five years of ups and downs and challenging emotions, which at one point were severe enough to drive James to thoughts of ending his life. Today, at 40, James has trained himself to leave behind the negative aspects of the past and is starting to move forward in a positive and focused way. He has gained courage, determination and above all faith, not only in himself but in life. He has written The family who are living their dreams, which is dedicated to his family, to inspire both children and adults who are going through some of the experiences he has survived. He is now working on his second book, which describes the new journey that we are all taking.

The one question I am guaranteed to be asked on a weekly (if not daily basis) is, "Where is the OTHER sock?" I have a toddler and a baby in the house and I just cannot seem to get those socks together. Hence, my characters in my books detail all the fanciful adventures. As a Christian mother, I want to use my creativity to celebrate a child's yearning to understand the world around them. I want to be involved and use my books as an instrument for both thought and change. I consider this book to be a true labor of love! As an author I want to ensure that my stories are not only filled with great lessons, but also great positive inspiration for parents. Some of us may never know it, but we hold a great great treasure and need encouragement along the way. I hope you enjoy!

Author bio:
Who am I , What am I, Where am I ? I am like your mother and your father who take's care of you. I am like your sister and your brother who are there for you. I am like your best friend who looks out for you. I am like your guardian who keeps you safe. I am like your teacher who feeds your mind. I am all seeing, all hearing and all knowing. I am like the birds that sing their little song. I am like the sunrise that wakes you in the morning. I am the joy that brings a little smile into your life. I am everywhere and nowhere at the same time. Just like the wind you can't see me or touch me but you know I am there. Who am I , What am I, Where am I ? – I am the Words. The words that brings a little sunshine into your life.

Author bio:
Chas Stramash is a poet. He has been a poet since 2000. Not because of it, merely a coincidence. He started off writing poetry about lava lamps, cows, grass and such like. He now writes poems about places, people, events, observations, countries, politics, culture, coffee… in fact, anything is pretty much within scope these days. His poems are influenced by John Cooper Clarke, Spike Milligan, Luke Wright, Salena Godden, Byron Vincent, and Rick Lupert. Much of his poetry is observational, often humorous, and very often satirical. His work has occasionally been compared with Spike Milligan’s, but he would never entertain the notion himself. He has written one book of poetry for kids, which he takes with him as he travels around the country and reads to the wee people of Scotland, giving out free bookmarks and stickers as he goes. He has published two books of poetry for adults. He has yet to read these publicly but is aching to do so. His books are published by Smashing Press, based in Leith. Chas enjoys walking around Edinburgh, stopping for coffee, eating cheese late at night, drinking in Scotland, Spain and Greece, reading, rabbit taming, tropical fish keeping, good curry houses and music. Chas Stramash is an accomplished fake faller.
