The pair grew up in Bucks County, Pennsylvania, right around the block from each other, Tom on the main road and Lynne on the back street. Lynne would sit on the curb in front of her house and wait for Tommy to ride his bike by her front lawn. Then, they would play in the sandbox, fly to a far away planet in their refrigerator box-spaceship, or ride the rough ocean waves on the swing-set-ocean-cruiser.

When they were a little older, Tom would construct go-karts with some of the other neighborhood kids. They would ride the carts down the incline of the back street on many a summer afternoon. Lynne and Tom even built a mega-go-kart together with another neighborhood pal in TomÕs backyard. It had four walls and a roof, and the floor was even tiled!

Tom was two years ahead of Lynne in school, but they were fortunate enough to attend junior high together for one year and high school for another. Both of these years, Tom and Lynne rode the bus together, sharing jokes, stories, and secrets. Lynne became involved in musical theater and jazz band while Tom trained in the martial art of Tae Kwon Do.

By the time they were both in college, their friendship began to transform into something more, and the pair began dating. Lynne attended the University of Delaware and Tom attended Alvernia College.

Lynne and Tom shared the excitement of their first published work in March of 2004, the first mission in the Sneak Force series. The team is hard at work on the second book of the series. Lynne is a full-time Spanish teacher and runs an animal awareness club in her spare time. Thomas promotes Sneak Force full-time and trains in the martial art of Aikido.

They both credit their success and creativity to their family, friends, and a wonderful childhood.
