Meet Tommy Connolly, Matt Coundiff, and Kristina Skaggs!

Please welcome the two newest members of the Bryony team: Tommy Connolly, who will be assisting with marketing, and Matt Coundiff, the illustrator for the interior images of the official Bryony cookbook: "Memories in the Kitchen: Bites and Nibbles From 'Bryony.'"

Tommy Connolly is a Chicago area actor, writer, voiceover artist, and comedian, who has appeared in such productions as "Chicago Code," "Shameless," "Contagion," and "Chasing Hollywood."

However, Tommy's passion is inspiring others. After 28 years of battling addiction and depression, Connolly shares his journey to recovery in his blog (www.tommyconnolly.blogspot.com) and in his book, "Soul Parole: Making Peace with My Mind, God, and Myself," which will be released in November.

Matt Coundiff is an illustrator, professional wrestler, and the manager and tattoo artist at A Thin Line Tattoo in Plainfield. He is also starting a T-shirt and design company. Matt's goals are to support himself with his art and to grow as a person and as an artist. For more information, visit www.athinlinetatoo.com

I'd also like you to meet writer Kristina Skaggs. Her short story, "Dead Serious," will be posted on the "Harold Masters Literature Class" page on the BryonySeries website (www.bryonyseries.com)and will be the BryonySeries blog featured short story tomorrow. Be sure to check it out!

Kristina read this story at an event last night, and she impressed everyone with her humor and interesting twist on a normally serious subject.

Have a great day!
