“…terrified at what I was doing but unable to stop myself…” - Jeffrey Eugenides
PETA JO has been writing since she was little, plagiarising RL Stine novels in her maths pad and eventually writing her own YA thriller about orphan children being sold on the black market.
But rather than send it to a publisher, she decided to embark on a much-less intimidating career in journalism instead.
She graduated from University of Southern Queensland majoring in journalism and mass communications and was a newspaper editor by the age of 25.
One slow news day, she decided to pen a short story based on all the weddings she had been in. After a creative writing course through University of Queensland, the short story ... read more

Heidi Peltier
I am what they call a "jack of all trades but a master of none." I write, draw, paint, cook, bake, photograph, video edit, and craft. My most important job though is being a wife to my wonderful husband of thirteen years, Chris, and being a mom to our two precious boys, Ethan and Rory. Between driving my "should-have-been-a-yellow-school-bus" minivan to take kids to school, pick them up, take them to various practices, and watching soccer and baseball games, taking zumba classes, rehearsing with my church handbell choir, and doing my own recreational reading, I don't have a lot of time to write. But when I do, I enjoy it, and you can be sure I give it all I've got. I hope to continue it and to have an aud ... read more

Elaine Benwell
Thank you for your interest. For those who are curious, my educational background is in history and religion. I have lived in California and in Liverpool and I love them both. My heart is divided with an ocean in between.
"Write what you know," they say. So that's what I have done, for although the characters in my book are fictional, they were inspired by real people. Many of the events (e.g. pumpkin pie at Thanksgiving) and conversations were based on personal experiences. Beyond the Blue Door was a labor of love and the fulfillment of a lifelong dream. I am under no illusions about my work. I never intended for it to be great literature. It is merely a fun diversion, something that I hope will make you smil ... read more
