David Grau Sr. JD

David Grau Sr. is a full-time author and passionate advocate for small business stewardship. In a career spanning over three decades, David has advised thousands of small business owners on issues of succession planning and enterprise value.

Candace MacPhie

Born in Montreal, Quebec, I spent years backpacking and working around the world. I have a Bachelor of Commerce degree, an MBA, and worked for twenty years on four different continents and now call Calgary, Alberta home.

I got married, had kids, and things got busy. Time was moving by quickly, and my kids were growing up fast. I shifted gears and quit my job to spend time at home. During the COVID lockdown, I had time on my hands, decided to try writing, and started writing the Back in a Year series.

When I’m not at my computer yelling, “Just a few more pages, then I’ll make dinner,” I love hiking in the Rocky Mountains, hot yoga, reading romance novels, and making up new cake recipes. I especially like to laugh and spend time with my husband

Terry Lee Caruthers

Terry Lee Caruthers enjoys writing, storytelling, and cats with a little cross-stitching on the side. Her preference is to spend her days curled up in the porch swing with a large glass of ice water and a good book. And yes! Unbelievably, she actually has a porch swing in her living room!

Terry credits her mother and maternal grandmother for nurturing her love of books. As a lifetime reader, she is drawn to coming-of-age novels and Southern literary fiction, but can't pass up a good mystery. Her favorite book of all time is Harper Lee's "To Kill A Mockingbird," which she was assigned to read in ninth grade--and has re-read almost every year since. Because of her prior involvement in cat rescue, Terry collects books on stray, feral, lost, and
