D.E. Night | Author
I’ve always been inspired by the magic of imagination and drawn to fantasy worlds. It wasn’t until my mid-twenties that I realized I was happiest while creating my own fantasy world. And that ended up being The Crowns of Croswald, my middle grade fantasy series! Ever since I was a little girl, I had visions of imaginary places––invisible towns with low hanging stars that grant wishes or a magical tree house comprised of invisible vaults, for example. What I didn’t know then was that these were all little seeds of the Crosworld magic. As far as day-to-day inspiration, it hits at the most random, unexpected times. An idea will just pop into my mind while I’m driving in my car or on a walk with my son. And I love nothing better! It’s like little surprises throughout the day. When that magic strikes, I have to catch it and write it down so I can make sense of it later! In this time of basically staying home, taking deep dives into imagination, encouraging myself to think creatively has been an adventure every day. Books (reading and writing!) are the best escape!.

Kiki Sanchez | Producer, Musical Artist, Professor, Music Composer and Arranger
I am inspired by the Architect of the Universe “God” and his amazing creation called planet earth. Just the fact that we are able to wake up every morning is a source of inspiration because it is one more opportunity to create, compose, give, understand, bless and learn from others. Furthermore, I am inspired by how my music, books, prayers and actions somehow will bring a positive contribution to others. Finally, I believe that our mission as a human being is to give and therefore, it is something that I am practicing consistently to create a better world. Read more>>
