Larry and Carol were married in 1978 and have combined their careers and life experiences to bring a unique blend to their writing. They are internationally experienced consultants and presenters in education and business.
Larry and Carol love to travel and have visited all seven continents and all fifty states, connecting with individuals worldwide and throughout the United States. They served as missionaries to Honduras, making numerous trips over six years. They also enjoy mentoring young adults, who they fondly identify as their “children.”
Throughout their careers, they have consistently collaborated as a team. They founded Prime Presentations, a seminar business that served teachers and administrators for over fifteen years. They co-authored and taught Success in School, a study skills curriculum for middle and high school students. Both have had articles published in professional journals and trade magazines.
Under Carol’s direction, twenty of her at-risk seventh graders wrote and published a 245-page mathematics textbook. “Pioneer Math: Written by Kids for Kids” was purchased by schools in Great Britain, Canada, Bermuda, and in over forty states in the United States.
When asked about their greatest honors, Larry shares that Carol was the recipient of Presidential Award for Excellence in the Teaching of Mathematics, which led to a meeting with President George H. W. Bush at the White House. And Carol proudly recounts Larry being named an All-American Softball player who pitched his team to third in the nation and served in the U.S. Navy during the Vietnam era.
They have combined Carol’s attention to detail and writing ability with Larry’s research, map drawing skills, and unique story ideas to bring you this first historical novel in the “In Search” series.

I grew up in Melbourne, Australia and thank my parents and school teachers for encouraging my love of literature and history.
After graduating from business college, I worked in the dry world of ledgers and accounting, then joined the tide of Australians traveling to the UK for a working holiday. There, in front of me was the history I’d read about. I was hooked. Marriage and children came next, then back to work, which kept my urge to write on the backburner. On the point of retiring I changed course to accept a position as secretary for a large New South Wales, Historical Society. Now really retired I am finally indulging my love of writing and travelling.

I was born and raised in Argentina, educated in the U.S, and came to Mexico in 1962 with Time/Life International. I have been a regular lecturer to newly arrived foreign residents titled: Mexico – History, Legend and Cross Border Culture. I have published two novels in Mexico, The Crystal Bull and The Line/La Línea (presently being rewritten under the new title The Long Way Home). In 2012 my first nonfiction book, Mexico Behind The Mask was published by Potomac Books in Washington, D.C. and by The Univ. of Nebraska Press. My latest book, in the form of a limited edition, is Pebbles In Time. I have represented The Financial Times and Business Week (not as a foreign correspondent) for over twenty years. From 1975 to 1985 I published a series of magazines along the west coast of Mexico titled About: About Tijuana (including Ensenada, Loreto, and San Felipe). Los Cabos (including La Paz), Mazatlan, Puerto Vallarta, Manzanillo, Guadalajara, and Acapulco. In the 1980s, as a representative of Business Week, I published four special sections on “production sharing” along the border. As a representative of the magazine, I was also a member of a Mexican think tank in Mexico City known as The Pinnacle Group. During these years in the late nineties, I had the opportunity to meet and listen to many leading Mexican politicians and businessmen. For a period of fifteen years, I outsourced for Bancomext (Banco Nacional de Comercio Exterior) publishing the annual Mexican Directory of Foreign Trade.
