Author bio:
I am a retired teacher-turned-writer on the Long Beach Peninsula, tucked away in southwest corner of Washington state. I wrote a bi-weekly humorous personal experience newspaper column for over 10 years, garnering 11 state awards. A collection of those columns, "Through My Looking Glass," was published by Kaleidoscope Press. Next I wrote "Just Joshin', A Year in the Life of a Not-so-ordinary 4th Grade Kid." It's a collection of 63 humorous classroom anecdotes. Following that, "It's Christmas!", with 47 stories and the scripts from three one-act Christmas plays. I've written almost a dozen one-act plays, and all have been performed in one of three venues. A frequent contributer to the Chicken Soup for the Soul Series, I had 12 stories accepted in the first two years I sent in submissions. I have won or placed in several local short story contests, and most recently, two of my chapter submissions for an Astoria, Oregon newspaper murder-mystery serial were selected. My first novel, a cozy mystery set on the Long Beach Peninsula, is currently seeking an agent.

Author bio:
Christee Atwood found her way to her current position as a speaker, author, and training and development consultant by the scenic route. She started with a background as a radio and television host, moved into positions as a newspaper editor and columnist, then a Universal Studios tour guide (yes, she can really point to her left and her right), and she even tried a stint as a stand-up comic. She was so good at comedy that she swiftly left that profession and found herself in association management, working as an executive director of trade and professional associations. From there she sneaked into the corporate world and found out that there was something called Training & Development. She discovered that in this career choice, she could talk to groups and not have to dodge vegetables and other projectiles like she did in that comedy profession. The one common thread in what she calls her “career-induced A.D.D.” was the desire to entertain, enlighten, and connect with others. And that’s what led Christee to develop her mission for life – Linking Laughter & Learning. Christee is author of 5 training books for ASTD Press: • Succession Planning Basics, • Presentation Skills Training, • Manager Skills Training, • Knowledge Management Basics, and • Ultimate Business Skills: Training the Fundamentals. Her humorous books have included • Journal of a Midlife Crisis, • Three Feet Under, and • In Celebration of Elastic Waistbands: Episodes of Imperfection, Insanity, and Occasional Enlightenment
