Sue Fries, the Termite Lady of Ecola Services Inc. She has been the director and chair of the Pest Control Operators of California.

Thirty years ago, Susan Fries married into the glamorous business of pest management. And after 20 years in the business, she made a decision to change the direction of pest management to offer more environmentally responsible methods of extermination.

Having a child who suffers from chronic allergies to dust mites as well as attention deficit disorder, Ecola Termite Services’ Susan Fries has always been particularly conscious of not only the global environment, but her family’s immediate surroundings. Her family’s health combined with her love for animals were the real driving forces behind her decision to operate an eco-sensitive pest management company. And with growing sensitivity to factors such as global warming, pollution and a generally increasing “green” movement, Fries knew that the best thing to do would be to buy her own alternative termite treatment company. This ultimately led to ECOLA Termite & Pest Service’s “Best Green Exterminator” Award in August of 2007-2010.

Joanne DiMaggio is a teacher, a member of the International Association of Regression Research and Therapies.  She has been working in that modality for over 25 years incorporating techniques to empower peoples lives.

My kindergarten teacher put a notation on my first report card that I showed a special interest in story telling and that is pretty much when my writing career began. By the third grade I was penning courtroom dramas enacted by my classmates and by my senior year in high school, I was editor of our monthly student newspaper.

After college, I became an advertising copywriter and public relations specialist. In that career I sharpened my writing skills by producing everything from speeches and scripts, to ads, brochures, catalogs, journals, press releases, direct mail, radio and television commercials. I also have written, edited and produced corporate and non-profit organizational newsletters as well as a quarterly magazine featuring articles on transpersonal psychology.

I began my freelance writing career in 1982. Since then my feature articles have been published in national and regional magazines and newspapers. In addition, I have put my writing and public relations abilities to use in the service of non-profit organizations. While living in Chicago, I co-founded Women on the Move, an organization to empower women in transition and also served on the board of PACES, Parent and Childbirth Education Society.

After moving to Charlottesville in 1995, I started a communications consulting business and was the editor and co-publisher of It's A Good Life magazine. I continued working with non-profit organizations and served on the Board of Trustees of the Communication Disorders Foundation of Virginia for two years. I was a marketing consultant for SCORE, the Service Corps of Retired Executives, for many years and continue to write their quarterly newsletter and press releases.

I have a degree in history from the University of Illinois. My other passion is my interest in esoteric studies. To that end I am pursuing my Masters Degree in Transpersonal Studies from Atlantic University. My culminating project—and hopefully the topic of my next book—is on Inspirational Writing.

My writing has earned several honors, including an award for an inspirational greeting card I wrote and published under the name, Spirit Song. Cited for its creative excellence in the category of sympathy; my verse was chosen as one of six finalists in the world for the "Louie Awards,” the Third Annual Greeting Card Association Awards Competition.

My first book, Charlottesville: A Contemporary Portrait, was published in March 2002. Most recently I was senior editor and writer for Let'sGo! a guidebook of daytrips in central Virginia.

After practicing law for 20 years Darryl Nyznyk became a full-time writer and teacher.  He has written a holiday novel prior to publishing 'The Condor Song'.

Before becoming a full-time writer, Darryl Nyznyk (pronounced NIZ-nik) practiced law for two decades. As an attorney, he dealt with developers and environmental groups like the California Coastal Commission and the Sierra Club. After working on a case involving the Sierra Club, Nyznyk purchased a book called Wild at Law to read more about the group and became enthralled with their work.
 
He was especially drawn to the story of the Sierra Club’s efforts to stop Walt Disney from building the ultimate ski resort in the Mineral King Valley of the Sierra Nevada Mountains in Southern California.
 
And that’s when the idea for his latest novel, an environmental legal thriller, The Condor Song (June 2013) hit him.
 
“I became interested in the entire concept of the various sides of the debate of good and evil,” says Nyznyk. “Here you have Walt Disney, an honorary member of the Sierra Club, trying to build an environmentally friendly development in the Sierra Nevada Mountains, and he is opposed by the Sierra Club on the basis that no matter what Disney did to make the project environmentally friendly, it simply couldn't be done.”
 
Nyznyk was raised in a middle-class Catholic family in a Los Angeles suburb. His upbringing didn’t prepare him for campus life at UC—Santa Barbara during the anti-war demonstrations of the early 1970s. It was a wild time in a wild place, and it ultimately ingrained in him a sense of individualism, tempered by the social consciousness that helped shape his core and now forms the foundation of his writing.
 
After graduation, Nyznyk continued on to receive his magna cum laude JD degree at the University of San Diego. Family and a wide-ranging law practice consumed most of the next 20 years of his life. For nine years after private practice, he was general counsel and then president of a Southern California real estate development company. Since then, he has gone into full-time writing and teaching. His first novel was a political thriller titled The Third Term and he released a holiday book, Mary’s Son; A Tale of Christmas in 2010.
 
An Amazon best-seller, Mary’s Son, is also a three-time Gold recipient of the Mom’s Choice Awards: Inspirational/Motivational book for Juvenile and Young Adult readers and Adult Fiction/Literature.
 
Father to four grown daughters, Nyznyk lives in Manhattan Beach, Calif. with his wife, Loretta.

He has a great passion for writing about subjects that help individuals improve their personal and professional lives. His writing topics are derived from over a decade of experience in sales, marketing, management, recruiting, the ownership of his business, buying and selling real estate, buying and selling businesses, negotiating with clients, vendors and employees, and his intense research and involvement in countless self-help, self-improvement, and self-awareness seminars, books and hands-on programs and events.

Rasha had an inner calling to become a Divine Messenger in 1987. The Journey to Oneness is the transcript of her experiences in her spiritual journey which she now teaches around the world.  She lives in India.

Biography From: http://www.onenesswebsite.com/about.html

Author of Oneness and The Calling, Rasha awakened to her inner-calling as a conduit of Divine guidance in 1987. She began working with Oneness -- the Divinity we all share -- in 1998, documenting the Revelations that serve as the foundation for the Oneness series, and addressing the profound spiritual awakening that is the hallmark of these times. In the process, she was taken step by step through the Sacred Journey to Oneness and through the life-altering changes that are shaking the foundation of today’s world.

Welcome! An accomplished professional writer, Rasha’s “previous life” includes a whirlwind international career as an advertising copywriter, a five-year stint as a Nashville songwriter and country music lyricist, and a published children’s book. In recent years, she became well known in the spiritual marketplace as the owner/designer of Earthstar, the metaphysical jewelry company. Between takes, she raised and nurtured three wonderful children, now all grown.

As a spiritual teacher with a profound message, Rasha is not affiliated with any established spiritual path, religion or guru. Her teachings are universal and focus on the experience of the Divinity within each of us. The loving guidance of Oneness continues to be documented by Rasha as this Divine outreach to humanity flows through her and comes to life on her laptop.

An incurable world-traveler, Rasha now spends her days cloistered in the remote mountains of Northern New Mexico and the mystical hills of South India. There, in blessed silence, life is filled with the indescribable joy of transcribing the words of Oneness for future volumes.
