Dave Winfield is a Hall-of-Fame baseball player and World Series champion. He played 22 major league seasons, 17 of them in San Diego and New York. A 12-time All-Star, he was among the first professional athletes to start a charitable foundation. The David M.

Following his major league career, he spent more than a decade as an executive in professional baseball and six years in media with FOX Sports and ESPN. He is an acclaimed speaker and the author of a 1988 autobiography (W.W. Norton & Company) and a 2008 book about how to revitalize baseball (Scribner). He’s been married for more than 30 years, has three children, and lives in Los Angeles.

Award-winning author Lois Winston is not a doctor, nor does she play one on TV. Instead, she writes humorous, cross-genre contemporary novels, often drawing upon her extensive experience as a consumer crafts designer for much of her source material. Her first book, Talk Gertie to Me, a combination chick-lit/hen-lit/romantic comedy with a touch of the paranormal, was released in 2006. She follows that up in 2007 with Love, Lies, and a Double Shot of Deception, a mom-lit romantic suspense. When not writing or designing, Lois can be found trudging through stacks of manuscripts as she hunts for diamonds in the slush piles for the Ashley Grayson Literary Agency.
