John and Nancy live in the small town of Lake Havasu City in northwestern Arizona. John is an orthopedic surgeon specializing in spinal surgery. When he isn’t working, John’s interests include a lifetime love of flying. An avid enthusiast of naval history and maritime literature, John is often found reading or fishing on a quiet creek in Colorado. Nancy loves outdoor activities of all kinds. After completing J.D./Ph.D. degrees and admission to the Colorado Bar, Nancy worked first in special education law at the state level and later in higher education at the University of Colorado. This book is the second of their collaborative writing efforts. In 2020, Little Creek Press published the authors’ first historical narrative: An Ingenious Excuse: The True Story of Patrick Lyon and the First Great American Bank Robbery. It is found in public and university libraries across the country.
