Ealasaid has a love beyond love for books.  She helps people organize, move, and repair their personal libraries just like a roadie cares for the rocker’s favorite guitar. For her photos, she wanted to show this unique combination of books and rock-n-roll!!

Honey is a beautiful, wise, and playful soul.  I learned so much from her!

Kim is a  hilarious and brutally honest writer – so completely open about her life, struggles, and trying to write through it all.  I love her blog – check it out at http://www.avoidingkim.wordpress.com

Kevin is such an awesome character!  He has secret plans for a business that will be the most awesome thing ever.  I would tell you, but then I’d have to kill you.

Waverly is another amazing writer and writing coach in Seattle.  We got to hang out one night over drinks and it felt like talking to an old friend!  Check her out at: http://www.waverlyfitzgerald.com/

Casey has taken a path in life that I envy – she completely works for herself.  I love that!  I also loved getting to hang out and chat over beers one evening – she’s really awesome!

Shannon has an enormous smile that is so inviting, you can’t help but want to get to know her.  She’s a personal coach to creative souls, and  you should check her out at http://www.perceptionstudios.net/
