About the Authors
MJ Goodnow & Marie Pacha
It was by answering an advertisement for
a co-author that Marie Pacha met MJ Goodnow in October, 2008 and the partnership
began that gave birth to Red Storm and the rest of the books in the series.
The
concept for Red Storm and the full series The Regime Guard's 1,000 Years of
War was developed by MJ Goodnow. MJ lives in Minneapolis, MN with his
wife, Sandy, and their two children, Araya and Damien.
MJ, after attending Norwich Free Academy in Connecticut, continued his education by studying Theology and Anthropology. He is a motivational mentor and an ordained minister.
When
not writing or working MJ enjoys the martial arts, where he has
attained a black belt in Aikido. He also enjoys outdoor activities.
MJ's
co-author, Marie Pacha, was born, raised, and lived most of her life in
Iowa. When the youngest of her three children headed off to college in
2007, Marie headed out too: finally settling on a mountain ridge in
West Virginia where she spends her time writing and painting.
Marie's
formal education was interrupted after graduation from high school as
her children were growing. It wasn't until 2006 that she received her
first college degree: an Associate of Art from Kirkwood Community
College. During that period Marie focused on classes that had to do
with writing to further the career she had set her sights upon. She
has had two previous books published in the genres of poetry and
fantasy. She has also had several ghostwriting contracts and written
several essays that have been published.
In addition to Red Storm and the other books in the series, Marie is hoping, in the not too distant future, to see a book in print of her poems and a fantasy she has completed.
Recently one of Marie's poems, Crooked Halo, was recorded by a Canadian artist and is on his new CD.
