Based in Auckland, New Zealand, AwesoMe Inc brings together all the threads of founder Nicole Perry’s experience - her psychology studies, a 25+ year career in graphic design, a background in scientific publishing and personal experience as a support person for loved ones in times of mental distress. Australian born Nicole created these journals and other resources, under the brand name AwesoME Inc, with her own family in mind. She wants her kids (and others) to grow up having life skills that will help them through life’s inevitable storms. She has a drive to do something positive to combat the World’s appalling mental health statistics, by bringing the power of positive psychology into simple, everyday practices anyone can learn before they reach crisis point. It’s Nicole’s way of making a meaningful difference, by bringing together all of her knowledge, skills and experience to contribute to the conversation around mental well-being, emotional resilience, health and happiness.

Tee's passion for strong females and ability to spin a fairly decent sentence, has resulted in over 52 published titles spanning 3 pen names and over 5 genres. Tee’s alter ego, Toni Vallan, writes Psychological Horror and Suspense. Writing since 2010, Tee lives in Middle Earth. She loves the beach, and her readers, is an artist, a nerd, and a geek, hates crowds, and sings like Adele (only in her head). If she could grow up to be Wonder Woman she’d die happy. She’s blessed with 2 almost fully-grown girls. Most days, Tee can be found typing away at her laptop, creating more words.
