About the Author
Susan Campbell is an award-winning, nationally syndicated columnist and feature writer for the Hartford Courant. She lives in Marlborough, Connecticut.
Bill Heald is a writer and photographer whose articles about trends and travel from New York to New Zealand appear regularly in Rider magazine and in many other motorcycle-related publications as well as on Playboy.com. He lives in Hampton, Connecticut.
They are two Connecticut residents with witty senses of humor and a taste for the tasteless and the offbeat--who also manage to hold respectable jobs. Together they bring new meaning to the word silly.
