About the Author:

Ken and Sharon Foster-Lewis live on a quiet corner of Camano Island in Washington State. Ken hails from Liverpool, England where his life experience was as varied as jumping out of airplanes with the British Parachute Regiment and working as a dancehall bouncer in Liverpool during the Beatles' early days. He has also lived in New Zealand where his daughters Jennifer and Amanda and his grandson Connor live.

Sharon grew up on the Oregon Coast and received her education at Linfield College and the University of Oregon before moving to Alaska. She met Ken in Alaska in 1978 when she was working on the airline where Ken was a passenger.

Ken and Sharon operate Teatime, a national wholesale distributor of tea and tea-related gifts. A shared love of nature, history, animals and travel carried them around the world before settling in the home Ken built for them overlooking the teatime sunset on the sparkling waters of Puget Sound.
