Helen Glanville is an Australian author whose debut memoir, A Second Chance, tells the remarkable true story of love, forgiveness and rebuilding after life’s most difficult chapters. When Helen met her husband, Richard “Geoff” Glanville, he was serving time for one of Australia’s most notorious white-collar crimes. Against the odds, they fell in love, married, and went on to build a life centred on honesty, redemption and service to others. She writes with warmth and honesty about resilience, morality and the courage to begin again. Helen's experiences include losing everything in the 2019 bushfires and then finding faith and meaning through each new beginning. Today she speaks about transformation, second chances and the process of turning pain into purpose. Based in Adelaide, Helen continues to share her message that no story is beyond redemption, and that writing can be both a personal and spiritual act of renewal. Credit: Helen Glanville.

Paul Rushworth-Brown is an Australian historical fiction author and educator whose writing blends realism, emotion, and truth-telling. Born in England and raised in Australia, he draws on his own experiences working in the outback and teaching history to craft stories that explore identity, belonging, and the legacy of colonisation. His latest novel, Outback Odyssey (Historium Press, 2024), reimagines post-war Australia through the eyes of a Yorkshire migrant drawn into the spiritual world of the outback. The book has been praised internationally for its empathy and authenticity and was recently nominated for the NSW Premier’s Literary Awards. Through his work, Paul invites readers to see Australia not just as a landscape, but as a living story — one that remembers. He also has authored Skulduggery, Red Winter Journey and Dream of Courage.
