We are Evolve Expressions— ‘where words become power, and art becomes movement’.

We are Yvonne Murray and Charlynn Bryan – self-published poets with 6 poetry books between the two of us. Charlynne and I met through our love of poetry and became firm friends.

We have been collaborating as a business for nearly 3-years to sell our books and artwork. We have a positive outlook on life and share that sentiment with everyone who meets us. We are passionate creatives who can turn hurt (and of course joy) into art.

We believe we craft poetry that doesn’t just speak—it uplifts!

We want to create art that doesn’t just inspire but makes you think – reaffirms.

From heartfelt verses to imaginative storytelling, our six books celebrate creativity, including one specially crafted for the dreamers—the children who carry tomorrow in their hands.

Our full range of art, which comprises of paintings and photography on canvass or framed, positive affirmations on cards, book marks or framed; keyrings, magnets, knitted hats and headbands. For 2026, we now have resin and wooden coasters.

Evolve Expressions—where poetry meets possibility, and creativity sparks transformation.

Alexander Halford is a surrealist fiction writer based in Wapping, London, where the tides, cobbled streets and slow river light have become quiet companions to his creative life. A physicist by training and a tech professional by trade, he arrived at fiction by a wonderfully unlikely route—what began as a sudden spark of curiosity grew into a full creative pursuit.

His debut novel, Venus in Chains, blends his fascination with philosophy, the human mind, and the hidden codes behind human behaviour. First drafted at his favourite window table in a small café overlooking the docks, the book carries the imprint of that landscape: still water, changing skies, and the sense that meaning can be uncovered in the ordinary if you look long enough.

Influenced strongly by the psychological richness of Russian writers such as Nabokov, Dostoevsky and Turgenev, Alexander approaches fiction as an excavation of inner worlds. He is currently working on his second novel, which continues this journey through themes of identity and self.

Steve has spent his life trying to discover the secret of how to become a fully-functioning adult. He has so far failed. One thing he has learnt is that he ought to have tried writing a book forty years earlier than he did, although he also now realises that he should have become a celebrity first, as this would have made selling it much easier.

He currently has three comedy spy thrillers to his name, all published by Claret Press: A Very Important Teapot, set in Australia; Bored to Death in the Baltics, not set in Australia; and Poor Table Manners, which takes place in Cape Town. These feature an initially fairly hapless hero, Dawson, and a considerably less hapless heroine, Lucy, together with varied supporting casts, most of whom are not who they claim to be.

In 2025, Steve also released into the world a comedy-murder-mystery, Lazytown, set in an eccentric Oxfordshire village. And, in a departure from comedy, a UK based thriller, False Connections, featuring ex-MI5 agent, Mel Milano, may well be out before the summer book fair. This could be the first of a new series, although Dawson and Lucy are also planning another outing at some point.

I hope to display 3 books this time, one a personal account of living in and visiting Japan entitled ‘An Affair with a Village — the work of social anthropological fieldwork and the long-term relationships built up’. The other two are novels: the first the tale of a 1960s escapee from the expectation that a girl, even with a degree, should quickly settle down, marry and have children.

The book, ‘Sharing Worlds’, recounts the exciting life she discovers between Mexico and Scotland, a fascinating job she finds, but still the conflict with wanting eventually to fulfil that expectation.

The second novel, to be launched at the Fair, is a sequel, and recounts the peripatetic life of a young woman whose travels and troubles are symbolised by the book’s title, ‘Born at Sea’. Set in the last three decades of the 20th century, it touches on cultural conflicts, the (recovering) plight of indigenous languages, and the early days of Climate Change, all presented through the eyes of a girl growing up. Spolier alert/ promise: both novels draw on some of my own experience as a social anthropologist, but the second is an entirely invented story.

Rohan Davies is the author of The Saga of the Witch, a fantasy series inspired by Norse myths.

It has been over a thousand years since the gods and giants fought in the climactic battle of Ragnarok. Humanity survived, but the world is still a harsh place. Anike is a witch, trying to understand her nature while hiding her power, knowing she will be feared and reviled by the people she wants to help. She is drawn into a struggle between law and chaos as ancient beings wake once more to threaten all of humanity. Her choices will help to shape the future of the world.

The first book in the Saga, The Demon and the Witch, was published in 2024, followed in 2025 by The Giant and the Witch. The third book in the series, The Hunter and the Witch, is planned for late 2026, to be followed by further books in the Saga in future years.

Rohan lives in Norfolk, overlooking the sea, and enjoys walking along the unique coastline. He has been an avid reader of fantasy books since a child and has studied for a diploma in Norse mythology. He has been playing and designing role-playing games for his entire adult life. The world for The Saga of the Witch was originally created for one such role-playing game. After a long career in dispute resolution, Rohan decided to do something creative instead, and now designs games and writes full-time.

He is on Facebook and YouTube. He will be speaking for ten minutes, presenting poems which he has translated from other tongues.
