Get Inspired: September Speakers:

JL Witterick is an international bestselling author. Her books are enjoyed in 10 languages around the world.  She loves to tell stories that are inspirational and moving. My Mother’s Secret, her first novel, has been selected to teach courage and compassion in many schools.

The ideas for her stories can come from anywhere. Her latest creation, It Was Always Her, was the result of a dream that was so astonishing that she felt compelled to write it down.  Time travel and the question of what we would do with a second chance have always fascinated her and she wove these concepts into this novel.

Colleen Winter is the award-winning author of The Gatherer series. She was short-listed for the 2020 Rakuten Kobo Emerging Writer Prize in Speculative Fiction, has received two Writer’s Reserve grants from the Ontario Arts Council, won first prize in the CAA Leacock/Simcoe Erotic prose contest, received a SLS Fellowship from the Unified Literary Contest, and is an alumni of the Humber School of Writers. She is the past-President of the Writer’s Community of Simcoe County and is a current organizer of Voices at Word Up Barrie.
