Rene DeFazio

What happens when two passionate writer-artists fall in love and decide to make an uncommon life together? The One Great Year novel series is just one of the awesome possibilities! Born and raised in the Vancouver area, Rene DeFazio is an actor, screenwriter and producer with numerous film and television roles to his credit, as well as countless commercials and print ads. After spending many years backpacking and filming, Rene drew upon an abundance of unusual and exciting experiences to create One Great Year: The Emissary. His tireless research and firsthand knowledge of exotic locations, customs, sights and scents helped to bring this epic story to life. Rene was awarded an Empowered Writers Award at the 2014 World International Peace festival in Vancouver. Tamara Veitch was also awarded an Empowered Writers Award at the 2014 World International Peace festival in Vancouver. Since an early age Tamara knew that she was a writer. She studied English and General Arts at Simon Fraser University and has had articles published in Guided Synergy Magazine, Awareness Magazine (Southern California), and Mosaic Magazine. Tamara is an experienced mural artist, teacher and public speaker and has toured with Rene presenting the groundbreaking research and discoveries behind their novels. The One Great Year Series has been developed over nine years and has been optioned to be developed into a film or television series. The authors are currently completing the second and third books in the One Great Year Series and hope for Book II to be released early 2019.
