Amanda comes from New England and has been writing since she was young. She has a degree in English from Colby College and spent many years in the education field before leaving to raise her kids.

Todd is an amateur Writer and Poet, and an aspiring Artist; he often times finds himself awake in the wee hours, hoping for some sort of inspiration.
