Karen Lange & Susan J. Reinhardt

Karen Lange homeschooled her two sons and daughter in grades K-12. During that time, they were active in homeschool co-ops, and Karen served as support group leader, Unschoolers Network curriculum consultant, and co-op coordinator.

Now that her children have graduated, Karen works as a freelance writer and copyeditor, blogger, and online writing instructor for adults. She continues working with homeschoolers, teaching teen writing classes at the Homeschool Online Creative Writing Co-op: http://www.homeschoolwritingco-op.bravesites.com/

Susan J. Reinhardt started off as a non-fiction writer. Her publishing credits include: LIVE!, Vista, The RevWriter Resource, The Secret Place, and numerous other periodicals and anthologies.

She changed gears and began writing fiction after an experience in Gettysburg. Surrounded by history, she *heard* the voices of the forefathers as fading echoes. Attempts to write a poem or non-fiction piece were unsuccessful, so she put the thoughts aside and prayed.

Eight months later, Susan and her late husband were discussing that event when he declared, "That's it! That's your book, and it will be written in 4 months and be called Ghosts of the Past."

The first draft was written in 4 months and underwent a name change to Echoes of the Past. Later, it became The Moses Conspiracy. Now, after 2 years of caring for her husband through cancer until his death and 6 years of honing her fiction skills, The Moses Conspiracy has been published.

A widow, stepmom, daughter, and follower of Jesus Christ, Susan enjoys reading, couponing, gardening, family time, and searching for small treasures in antique shops.
