Annie Anderson has a beautiful reverence for life, a strong faith and a love of people. Born and raised on a farm in the small South Island town of Timaru, for as long as she can remember Annie has had a passion for making a positive difference in the lives of others. She has a Bachelor of Education (BEd) and a Graduate Diploma of Teaching and Learning (Grad Dip) and as a secondary educator devotes her time to empowering NZ youth and equipping them with the tools and skills to realise their potential. Annie lives in Christchurch with her family — her husband Rob, three gorgeous earthside children Jai, Arabella and Rose, two angels that watch on from above, and her mischievous husky Kobe. When she is not with her family and friends, you will find her writing, indulging her love of chocolate or immersing herself in nature.

Jennifer is a New Zealand-based writer whose life journey is a testament to resilience, transformation, and an unstoppable spirit. As a child, Dunedin-born Jennifer spent time living in France kicking off a life-long love affair with the country. An avid walker, Jennifer first joined a local walking group to meet people and explore the local countryside, while working as a language teaching assistant in Dunkerque. Thirty years later, she's hooked! A communications professional, she has worked in tourism and government roles both here and in the UK, as well as undergoing stints as a freelance travel writer. Her blog on the family's French adventure www.myparallellives.com was widely enjoyed and it was prompting from readers that led Jennifer to write a book about the family's experience: Parallel Lives: Four seasons in the French Pyrenees. Her subsequent posts about her pilgrimage adventures are widely read and it was encouragement from followers that have led Jennifer to write a book about her Camino experiences.
