    Author Bio:
    Casey Tucker (Pappy)

    As a teen in the “80′s” (the beginning of the era of excess) in southern Ohio, much of his youth revolved around athletics. After college Casey pursued a career as a high school and college football coach until entering the financial services industry in 1997. He relocated to Minnesota in 1999 to eventually make Nanan his bride. He continued a career in the financial services industry until the bottom dropped out of the economy in 2008. Casey currently works in business, writes our eNewsletter, manages our Facebook Fan Page, and maintains the website. In his “spare time” he can be found honing his knowledge and skills on all things Sorta Off The Grid. He is the proud step-father to two sons, a father-in-law, and referred to as “Pappy” by the 3 grandchildren who light up his heart. Casey’s other interest include reading, boating, hunting, fishing, cooking, puppy dogs, photography and any skills he can acquire on self-reliance.

    Lynn Rogers (Nanan)

    As a “70′s Child” Lynn did what she could as a preteen and teenager during the dawning of the “Save the Environment” movement…which means not much at all. Other than “protesting” the disruption of the prairie dogs during an expansion project at her junior high (cute, huh?) she was basically a spectator. In the 80′s as a young stay-at-home mom and wife she was committed to putting healthy, made from scratch meals on the table. She sewed, knitted, made quilts – basically anything she could do using her hands. Things changed dramatically in the 90′s when Lynn re-entered the job force as a single mom. Working full-time with two young sons, she put aside a lot of the skills she was developing simply because of lack of time. Her career demanded well over 40 hours a week, so any free time she had was spent with her boys – not making her own pasta. Now she’s come full circle. Her kids are grown, and even though she still puts in a lot of hours in the office, she loves the time she’s spending with Pappy, dusting off some old, long forgotten skills and learning plenty of new ones to help take them Sorta Off the Grid. She’s excited to share their journey with you.

    eBook-CoverAbout Learn To Love Me by Sinead MacDughlas:

    Despite her secret past, Emily O’Shea was finally living a normal life. There had been some arguments with her husband Trevor, lately, but no marriage is perfect. At least the column she writes for the local paper is going well…that is, until one of her interviewees goes missing, and a monster from her past resurfaces.

    Within a week Emily’s life spins into chaos. Missing girls, a telephone stalker, murder, a monster, and an intense ex-lover; it’s turning out to be one hell of a summer!

    Her husband is acting erratically, her boss is threatening to pull her column, and the police suspect she’s the muse for a murderer. Can Emily save her marriage, her job, her life and her sanity? More importantly, are her darkest fears justified? Does Emily already know who the killer is and, if she does, can she do anything to stop them?
