Bella's Bookshelves
Steph VanderMeulen is passionate about many things, like tea, animals, free time, peace, no neighbours, nature, music, and good food, but most significantly books. She's a book blogger, bookseller, copyeditor and proofreader, reader, writer, and stalwart promoter of authors, publishers, indie bookshops, and Canadian literature in particular. She grew up with a librarian mom, got in trouble by schoolteachers for reading too much, studied English lit in university where she was actually encouraged to read more than she could handle, attends many author readings and events, and has carried jobs in a publishing house, libraries, bookstores, and as a freelancer.  Steph’s idea of a good time is stimulating literary discussion, hiking the English dales, and spending quality time doing absolutely anything she feels like.  You can find her blog at www.bellasbookshelves.com

 

RANTSNSCRIBBLES
Gwenyth Love spent her early years in the libraries of Hamilton, Ontario. She currently lives in Toronto with her son, boyfriend, too many animals and enough books to start a library of her own. She loves the whole publishing industry, working as both a literary agent and an editor in the past. She has had two of her own short stories published in themed magazines. She currently runs her own review blog where she reviews not only the books she buys personally, but also advance reader copies for HarperCollins, Harlequin, Edgemont, and various other publishers. When she is not crazy busy at her day job as an accountant, Gwenyth also picks up part-time shifts at bookstores, surrounding herself with the things she loves most…books. She loves reading and hopes to retire one day in her own used bookstore. You can find her blog at http://rantsnscribbles.blogspot.com

 

A PROFESSIONAL DISTRACTION
Red Herring is Toronto's Professional Distraction. When this redhead's not planning a bank heist she's shaking her tail feathers across Toronto's stages, and often with a geeky twist. She's well read and good in bed, and can school you on anything from Sherlock Holmes to jumping bones. When she's not producing sold out shows (as the creator Toronto's original Babes in Space: Star Trek vs Star Wars burlesque show, or more) she's appearing on national television (Dragon's Den, Love Inc., ET Canada), promoting as an established bodypaint model, or writing about the paranormal for GhostbustersNews.com. Check out #cryptozoothursday on Twitter and take a look at her blog: lookaredherring.blogspot.com www.AProfessionalDistraction.com
Get distracted.

 

SEXY NERD GIRL
is a fictional web series that combines TV-style production values with the interactivity of an alternate reality game and the crowd-sourcing of improvisational theatre. Our multi-media narrative reveals the exploits of Valerie Lapomme, a vivacious and supremely confident 24-year-old woman, who happens to dig comics, sci-fi, fantasy, computers, video games, Pokémon and sex. When we launched on January 19th, 2011, the show began the audience development stage of production. Valerie's story is told through a web of social media properties, including YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr and her own personal blog. Her first-person storylines span across these various properties, giving audience members the opportunity to immerse themselves and participate in one or more aspects of her life, and the ability to alter her story along the way.
