An award-winning author, Rob (Hunger Winter) has been reading World War II books since he was a teenager. But why write this book?

Life conspired to get him to write Hunger Winter. Rob’s father is a World War II veteran, his wife is of Dutch descent, and his son wrote a short story about World War II in the Netherlands. I guess you could say he finally took the hint. Learn more at Rob’s website.

Homeschool mom by day. Novel writer by night

Susan (Badge of Honor) began writing stories when she was ten years old and preferred writing stories only for herself. When she grew up, Susan homeschooled teenagers and cared for toddlers all day then escaped into the Old West at night by writing story after story. She never intended to become a published author. Susan eventually discovered that it really is more fun to share her stories with others than to keep them to herself. Learn more on the Goldtown website.
