Robbin Miller
Robbin Miller is a mother of EJ who attended a structured playgroup in early intervention when he was five months old. Though EJ screened out to be eligible for early intervention as a baby, Robbin wanted EJ to participate in an active playgroup that focused on building social, cognitive, and fine and motor gross skills development with other babies with/out disabilities.

Robbin is also a licensed mental health counselor in private practice and serves as an adjunct faculty member for a local community college. Robbin is also married as she dedicates her picture book to her husband, EJ, and to her mother who passed away from cancer.

Phil Strangolagalli
This is Phil Strangolagalli’s first book and it was never planned.

Phil is recently married to his beautiful wife, Kathryn (the real Wonder Woman) and they don’t live far from the Daily Bugle. In Phil’s spare time you can find him taking long walks in the movie theater, teaching his wife about the complexity of film, and talking to strangers.

Phil is excited for how this book will reveal to you a side of Jesus that he believes people must know—an intimate, fun, actually very real God.

Paula Sullivan
A former newspaper reporter and business owner, she has been researching the subject of happiness for the past several years. Pouring over hundreds of books covering everything from ancient teachings to modern scientific studies, she believes the answer to attaining true and long-lasting happiness lies in the images people hold in their subconscious minds.

After years of dedicated study, she has developed her own unique style of visualizations. Simply Being Happy is her guidebook to teach others the techniques for replacing their negative images with new, bright, and powerful ones to create more happiness in their lives.

Paula and her husband, Jim, have been married for twenty-three years and have three grown children. They reside in Blackstone, Massachusetts.
