Harry Turner is an Emmy winning filmmaker, with his film and life story – Wildcat. He deployed with the British Army at 18 and returned home with severe PTSD. With his life forever changed and not knowing what the future held, he left everything behind and fled to the Amazon rainforest.

If lives were paintings, Nadezh Frank’s would be a Jackson Pollock—a constellation of linguistics, photojournalism, fashion, and philosophy spread across continents. From Moscow to London, Paris to New Orleans, Prague to Munich and Zurich, her global perspective shapes her work. After years capturing visual narratives, Nadezh transitioned to creative writing, channeling her photographer’s eye for human complexity into prose and poetry. Fluent in English, French, and Russian, she draws from a rich cultural background to shape her artistic vision.
Nadezh often compares creativity to a garden where the seed of conceptual thought is nourished by the soil of tangible experience. So when she’s not writing her second novel or reading the likes of Alan Watts, you might find her bouldering in the Magic Woods or lending a hand on a local farm.
Her working manuscript, The Benefactor of Snails, explores the intersections of identity, memory, love, and control within an upmarket speculative framework.

Heather Rovet is a Toronto-based real estate professional, author-in-progress, and public advocate known for her resilience, courage, and commitment to empowering people impacted by romance fraud and emotional abuse.
Her life changed when she became involved with a charming, calculated con artist—a man later exposed in the Amazon Prime documentary ROMCON: Who the F**k Is Jason Porter? Through uncovering the truth, Heather gained an unfiltered look into how emotional predators weaponize trust, distort reality, and even manipulate the criminal justice system to evade accountability. She single-handedly took a predator off the streets. Instead of retreating, she stepped into advocacy, offering clarity and courage to others facing similar harm.
Today, Heather blends her professional background with lived experience to speak about emotional abuse, coercive control, digital-age deception, and the often overwhelming nature of navigating the justice system as a victim. She is currently writing her first book, which blends memoir and psychology to illuminate how this kind of manipulation and abuse happens—and how to reclaim your power on the other side.
Her mission is to ensure that no victim feels alone, ashamed, or powerless in the wake of betrayal and manipulation—and to empower others to trust their instincts, find their voice, and rebuild from a place of strength. She lives in Toronto with her rescue dog, Tommy, whose spirited Cairo origins remind her daily of resilience and second chances.
