Hi! I’m Gillian. I’ve been an artist my whole life, creating book covers on Wattpad and drawing my own comic books. I got into writing songs and stories in high school and haven’t stopped since. I graduated from the University of Washington and Columbia Publishing Course. I love to think of out-of-the-box ways to promote your brand or product, because I think everyone has a story worth telling.

Gillian McMahon is a multimodal creator. From writing songs and playing in her band, "The Sleepy Haunts," to working as a graphic designer and publishing professional, to writing original stories, and to acting, she aims to do it all.

T.L. McCoy is the founder of Blue Round Book Group, LLC, and the author of DELILAH VERSUS THE GHASTLY GRIM, a magical middle-grade fantasy novel inspired by her real-life granddaughter, who lives with a rare and life-threatening seizure disorder known as Dravet Syndrome.

The story follows a young girl who, after a life-threatening seizure, is transported through an indigo door in her mind into a strange and perilous world. There, she must unlock her hidden powers to survive — and save others.

T.L. didn’t set out to write a book — she set out to give children like her granddaughter a hero they could see themselves in. According to a 2019 study, only 3.4% of children’s books feature disabled protagonists. T.L.’s story blends fast-paced fantasy with emotional depth, creating a bridge between real-world challenges and epic adventure.

She brings warmth, purpose, and honesty to every interview and is passionate about disability representation in fiction, family storytelling, neurodiversity, and empowering children through inclusive literature.

Highwater & The Kin:

Accompanied by Kyle Carr (lead guitar) & Jon Michael (mandolin), the bardic wanderer of Nevada City, Kendra Leigh Highwater, has been playing the guitar and stomping her boots in the gold rush towns of California since she was a kid. Her lyrics are salty and sweet, blending together the history of the brave women that pioneered the west with her own stories of roughin' it in love, loss, & life.
