Faith Wood: Addicted to suspense stories since early childhood, Faith Wood has a passion for solving puzzles. Her former career as a Peace Officer lends a bit of credibility to her mystery writing. While her current career as an international speaker and performer help define her talent as a voice over artist. Faith has won several awards for her cozy mystery series yet never has she won anything for her ability to market these. Most people accidentally find out she writes and narrates books. An outdoor enthusiast, Faith wanders the Okanagan Valley (British Columbia, Canada) with her husband, her spunky golden retrievers, and her wine loving friends!
Meaghan Hackinen (FBCW host): Meaghan is a writer and ultra-endurance cyclist whose two-wheeled adventures have taken her from Haida Gwaii to Mexico’s high plateaus, across Canada and the United States, and from North Cape to Tarifa along Europe’s highest paved roads. Her debut travel memoir, South Away: The Pacific Coast on Two Wheels (NeWest Press, 2019) was a finalist for the Kobo Emerging Writer Prize and an Alberta Book Publishing Award. Meaghan has an MFA in Writing from the University of Saskatchewan and lives on the traditional territory of the Syilx (Okanagan) People in Kelowna, British Columbia.
