Cleilie Rich (Editor) is everyone’s go-to person to find out how a thing is really done - She’s an expert’s expert, and now she’s ours.

Thomas Anfield (cover) is an erudite, (He paints for a living, but people should be paying just to hear him talk) much loved local performance artist and a painter - take a look at his site here.

Lee Tockar (illustrator) is a fellow actor (Link to IMDB) who spends his bench time with his nose pressed into his sketchbooks meticulously handwriting children’s stories and illustrating them with a skill to rival Maurice Sendak’s - I’ve known him ten years. He lives in luminous cocoon of creative electricity. I can’t wait for everyone to meet him. I’m so glad we could get him while we can still afford him!

Mary P. Brooke (layout) Ms. Brooke, lately from Sooke, has raised a passel of children and now commands a small publishing empire of her own, out of the wilds of Vancouver Island.

Robert Kabwe (cover layout), the man form Montreal has taken Thomas Anfield's gorgeous painting and given us a truly beautiful book cover.

Welcome to Escape Clause.
