Author Biography
Jessica Smyrl has had an interest in managing stress since 2006 when she studied for a Diploma in Stress Management which gave an insight into how to handle and deal with stress effectively.
She is a qualified nurse and midwife and gained a BA degree in Social Sciences and Art at the Open University. Whilst working in the NHS she studied for an MBA at Glasgow University.
She worked in the NHS and now runs health and wellbeing training and consultancy, YSM Solutions which is based in Glasgow. Her initial interest was stress within the workplace and stress in carers and this has led to the development of health and wellbeing training and consultancy company in 2009. Specialising in stress risk management, training, resilience, health coaching and wellbeing. Her current role is as a Consultant and Trainer and she is passionate about helping to reduce stress within the workplace and everyday life.
Feel Great: How to Manage Stress and Enjoy Life was written by Jessica as she found that many of the issues and problems which she had when working had not changed. Most of these issues are still extremely challenging for people today, so she felt that a self-help book could give some support and much needed help to all who read it.

Deborah Bruss is the author of the children's title, Book! Book! Book!, published by Arthur A. Levine Books. Bruss' work as an author has only been a relatively recent phenomenon. As a child, Bruss did not enjoy writing, and even attempted to avoid writing-intensive classes in high school. She did not overcome her fear of writing until she reached college and began her career as an author when she was in her thirties. She began writing in an attempt to interest her first grade son in books. Bruss wrote an adventure story for her son and then she decided to take writing classes at a local university.
Bruss had previously worked as a substitute teacher and school librarian and used these experiences to develop her writing. She began writing essays for the Home and Family section of the Sunday Monitor in Concord New Hampshire. Her latest work published by Scholastic is Book! Book! Book!, an imaginative children's title about animals who have discovered the library and have trouble communicating with the librarian. The idea for the book came from Bruss' father, whose joke inspired an idea for a chicken demanding a book, book!
Bruss currently resides in rural New Hampshire with her husband Michael, her sons Nathanial and Isaac and daughters Bayshay and Isatu. Her hobbies include traveling, sailing, swimming, adaptive skiing and singing with a female musical group, the Songweavers
