Author Biography:

A Louisiana freelance writer for over 20 years, Angela Vinet calls Shreveport home. As a nature enthusiast, she enjoys any outdoor adventure in her beloved Louisiana. Wife to Robert for more than half of her life, and mom to three full-of-life boys, Angela stays busy with family outings and baseball practices when she is not writing or teaching school. In her spare time, she enjoys writing children's books, kayaking, and adventuring with her family. Freelancing for newspapers as a columnist and featured writer, her work has been in many circulations for local press in addition to the USA Today Network. Her day job teaching English/Language Arts is quite full filling helping children fine tune their writing skills. As an eternal optimist, Angela lives life to the fullest, finding the silver-linings life offers while embracing the attitude that kindness toward all things matters as a daily mantra. Janis Harrison is affectionately known throughout the United States as GrandJan. She is a 72-year-old widow who taught herself how to drive a camper after her husband's passing. She has since traveled through America camping in her class C-RV. Cris-crossing the country serval times, GrandJan is an avid birder and has seen as many different birds as possible with up to 580 birds on her life list. Her nemesis bird is the illusive Snowy Owl, but never fear, she will find it. Making friends wherever she goes, GrandJan has done it all from playing the washboard in a jug band in the desert to taking drum lessons at 65. Full of life and fun, GrandJan is always cooking something in the kitchen or working in her garden when she is home.
