Dana Sutton is a tutor, coach, and parent with decades of experience working with children and young adults. While raising her children, she spent evenings tutoring students from primary through to first and second year post-secondary, as well as coaching and instructing various athletics. Dana currently owns her own business providing consulting, payroll and accounting services for businesses in the Okanagan. A keen athlete while growing up, Dana enjoyed fastball, ringette, volleyball, hockey, martial arts and skiing (both in water and downhill). These days, when she isn’t busy with work or grandchildren, Dana can be found reading a book or riding her motorcycle (an Indian Scout) throughout the Okanagan, where she lives with her husband, Ray and their two Old English Sheepdogs, Guinness and Misty. Guinness, Misty and Bailey (Misty's predecessor) can be found as background characters in many of her stories.

"When I was raising my children I always focused on being open with them.  I don't believe there are any "off-limit subjects". If my children were asking about something, or had been exposed to something, then I worked hard to help them understand using age-appropriate language; even when the topic was uncomfortable for me.

When I started writing children's books, and especially with the topic in Maddie Finds Her Place, I really focused on that strategy.  My experience is that, if the language is framed well, then children at each age level receive exactly what they need and are capable of understanding the conversation."   ​-  Dana Sutton

While moving across three continents and living in over 40 different homes, as her physician husband worked through post-graduate training, Sree raised two wonderfully successful children, she earned three Master's degrees and a doctoral degree.

In our increasingly artificial world, Toby Lightman’s pure and soulful voice cuts through the noise and connects with people emotionally. Classically trained on the violin and self-taught on the guitar, Lightman was unaware of her vocal talent until her high school graduation, when she performed her first solo. The crowd’s overwhelming reaction propelled her to buy her first guitar; which led to landing a major record deal with Lava Records after college.

Toby Lightman’s debut album Little Things appeared on the “Billboard Top 100” in its first week and gave way to comparisons to Lauryn Hill, Sheryl Crow and Norah Jones. Lightman received high praise from Rolling Stone, People, Billboard and others, which led to appearances on Letterman, Carson Daly, Conan, CBS Morning Show as well as extensive touring with artists such as Rob Thomas, Jewel, Gavin DeGraw, Train, Marc Cohn, and a special evening opening for Prince, an artist Lightman grew up idolizing. As an independent artist, Lightman has gone on to have over 100 song placements in films, tv shows and ads, and has also composed integral songs for the iconic Sesame Street and other shows on PBS.

Following in her idol, Prince’s, footsteps, Lightman self-produced her latest album AFTER ALL which she released in 2022. “Over the years, I have worked with only male producers because I knew of no women that were producing. I didn’t want to share songs about my journey through pregnancy, loss, and motherhood, so I decided to teach myself how to produce,” says Lightman, As one of the few female’s to enter into the world of production, Lightman is dedicated to encourage other women to do the same. Through organizations like She is the Music, Women in Music and Balance the Mix, Toby Lightman is championing women to take control of their creations as she did. “It’s extremely empowering to write a song from the depths of my soul, with feelings that

are genuinely mine, as a woman, and then bring that song to life without the help of a male producer who most likely won’t connect at all”, says Lightman. “The studio should be a safe place for women. However, we make up only 5% of all producers throughout the music business, so it’s our job to empower women who want to take control of their own creative destinies!”
Lightman is currently producing her next album slated for release in the spring of 2025 and her latest single “Higher” was recently recorded by American Idol finalist Breanna Nix, whose version reached #1 on iTunes Country Chart, iTunes Top Songs Chart and Billboard Christian Digital Songs Sales.
