Linda Belkin's childhood dream was to become a teacher. She realized that dream by becoming a high school English teacher at a small private school in Miami, Florida. Several years later, she became an elementary school teacher for Miami-Dade County Public Schools and eventually moved to the middle school level where she taught language arts and reading. A former Teacher of the Year, Linda holds a Master's Degree from Florida International University and a Doctoral Degree from Nova Southeastern University. She and her husband are currently retired and living outside of Miami where she continues her love of education as a school volunteer and reading tutor. Corey Burnett-Hanssen grew up in Minneapolis, Minnesota, where creating things and exploring the city on his skateboard or bicycle were the biggest joys of his youth. As a self-taught artist he has contributed to the local scene there through many group art exhibitions, donated work for benefit/charity events, designed and painted murals around town. In 2013, he married his love Kimberly and moved to Des Moines, Iowa, where they share a home with their cats and dog.
