Interview with Author – Carol and Larry McGehe

Interview with Author – Carol and Larry McGehe

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.

Interview with Author – C. R. Stewart

Interview with Author – C. R. Stewart

I am originally from Newport Beach, California, and have twenty years of experience writing fiction, nonfiction, and movie screenplays. My areas of expertise also includes film and media production, global strategy, and international marketing.

Britfield & The Lost Crown was conceived as an idea over 10 years ago while I was enduring a boring finance seminar. It started as a sketch of a hot air balloon with a young boy and girl trapped inside. From this simple drawing sprang the entire concept and story for Britfield.

I received a Bachelor of Arts in British Literature and European History from Brown University; did post- graduate work at Harvard University; earned an MBA from Boston College; and am pursuing a Master of Science in Advanced Management and a PhD in Strategy.

Now based in San Diego, I am a strong supporter of education and the arts. I enjoy world travel, reading, riding, swimming, sailing, tennis, and am currently on a National School Book Tour with Britfield & The Lost Crown speaking to students on the importance of creativity!
