SARAH P. BLANCHARD is the author of the thriller Grabtown (2025) and the psychological suspense novel Drawn from Life (2024). A Connecticut native and former teacher, radio journalist, horse trainer, and (briefly) volunteer firefighter, she now writes fiction and poetry from her home in Woodstock, CT.
LIZ BULLARD is a multi-genre author, therapist, and coach known for her captivating storytelling and passion for helping creatives overcome obstacles. Her notable works include The Prophecy Series and the Lira Somers Mysteries—praised for fast-paced plots, vivid characters, and movie-like imagery. Liz’s love of reading and writing is evident in the eReads Podcast, where she celebrates the power of creativity and storytelling. When she’s not writing, coaching, or recording the podcast, she’s cooking, reading, or spending time with Preston the corgi.
ELENA IMBIMBO is a researcher and analyst working in conflict prevention and resolution. With extensive experience in the media and editorial sectors, Elena is also a writer, a translator, and co-executive director of New Canaan CERT, a volunteer organization that supports the town’s emergency services. Splendor for Nothing is her debut mystery novel in the Alice Carta series.
S.L. JACOBS hails from Los Angeles but has spent the better part of her adult life in Connecticut, with residential stints along the way in Washington DC, Paris, and the UK. Her long legal career has always been partnered with volunteerism in municipal governance and local politics. She has written, directed, and performed in multiple community theater productions and is a loud and long-standing participant in any choir that will have her. Public Comment is her debut novel, and a sequel is in progress.
