Laurie Cameron was born in Montana and moved to the Washington, D.C. area after completing college. There she met her husband and took up the nomadic life in the U.S. Foreign Service. For more than twenty years, she has lived and traveled throughout many parts of Africa, the Caribbean, and Latin America. She has two sons who are launching careers in international diplomacy and finance.
Laura Meagher was born and raised in Plainfield, Illinois, and continues to reside in that same Chicago suburb today with her husband, Joe, and three beautiful children. She received her bachelor’s degree in elementary education and her master of arts in teaching. Laura just completed her thirteenth year of teaching in the public school system.
Laura is Laurie’s husband’s sister’s daughter (phew!). In other words, she is Laurie’s niece. They began writing together since 2008. When they started, Laurie lived in the Dominican Republic and Laura lived and continues to live in the same Chicago suburb. Since then Laurie has resided in Honduras for four years, Guatemala for two years, and is now living in Sedona, Arizona.
For this reason, all their writing happened over the internet. First Laura wrote a chapter and e-mailed it to Laurie, then Laurie wrote one and e-mailed it to Laura. The chapters weren’t always sequential. If one of them was inspired to write a particular chapter, she wrote it. They worried about putting it all together later. But each chapter provided inspiration to continue.
