In honour of World Mental Health Day, Tellwell author Lisa Bournelis shares her journey as the creator of Louie and the Dictator, a book delivering a powerful message about mental health. Inspired by her own child’s experience with OCD during the pandemic, Lisa crafted this story to support children facing anxiety, reminding them they’re the heroes of their own journeys. Her book offers a hopeful reminder that changing how we think can transform our lives.
Tellwell author Karen Harmon shares her inspiring journey with us—an award-winning writer whose path is as heartfelt as the stories she tells. Karen lives with intention, finding joy in nature, connecting deeply with others, and drawing inspiration from life’s simple, everyday moments. For her, writing isn’t just about putting words on a page; it’s a way to connect, give back, and reflect on what truly matters.
With four impactful books already published through Tellwell—Looking for Normal, Where Is My Happy Ending, Fat and Beautiful, and Class of ’78—Karen now looks forward to sharing her fifth. Each book she crafts is a reminder that stories are not just written—they’re lived. Through her words, she invites readers to experience life as she does, with open hearts and a deep appreciation for the world around them.
