Connor

Connor listens for unconventional explanations and enjoys telling inconvenient truths. He looks at happenings from the unpopular perspective because that is so often where the rubber meets the road. He reads Velikovsky with an open mind, knows the proper use of the phrase “begging the question,” and hopes to one day understand what they mean when they say things are often the opposite of what they are held to be. He is an only child, a husband, a father. He has been a radio DJ, a short order cook, a clown college dropout, a bartender, a college teacher, a musician, but nowadays he is a just a writer who writes in his spare time.

Eddie

Eddie currently lives in Kansas City, Missouri, where he works as an actor and writer. Born and raised in Jefferson City, MO (one of the oft-forgotten capital cities!), Eddie attended Stephens College in Columbia, MO for his theatre education. Part of the appeal of Stephens was its long and storied history, being one of the oldest continually operating women’s colleges in the country. Yes, you read that right: Stephens is a women’s college which admits men into their arts programs–luckily for Eddie. Being a Stephens boy ensured Eddie was surrounded by sisterhood, and many of his classmates remain lifelong friends. After college, Eddie fulfilled a life-long dream in moving to New York City to pursue the arts. During his five years in the city, Eddie learned innumerable lessons, worked in every arts and real estate related field he could, and met the man he would eventually marry and with whom he would move back to Missouri (and subsequently divorce..). Eddie is intimately aware that none of our life stories go to plan in the doing, but that out of chaos comes self-betterment and knowledge. When he is not working on his biography of the Broadway titan Tammy Grimes, Eddie can be found performing, baking, spending time with loved ones–and sharing stories.
