Rich Kopacz is a follower of Christ who grew up in Cleveland, Ohio, where the river catches fire no matter how cold it gets.

He started writing at the age of 6 and won the local library mystery story contest at age 14. He continued to cultivate his imagination and creativity until his marriage to Wendi, which included instant fatherhood of her little daughter, Brienne.

The resulting spiritual journey, coupled with his passion for the stories of the Old Testament, is the basis and inspiration for Mordecai’s relationship with Hadassah in his book, Daughter of God: the Orphan, the first in a series of six.

​

Michael Edwards hails from rural Idaho, where his childhood misadventures—often flashing his life before his eyes—laid the foundation for a storyteller’s spirit.

 

After serving in the military, he and his wife worked their way through college. Michael initially pursued journalism to fuel his writing dreams.

​

A lifelong lover of the written word with a delightfully warped sense of humor, Michael turned to his first true love of writing after retirement. Michael has penned several articles for Idaho Magazine and showcases his work on a personal website.

 

Now residing in Idaho with his wife, two cats, and two dogs, he continues to craft stories that blend his unique wit with the rugged charm of his home state.

 

His first book, a mystery/thriller, In The Shadows of Spirit Mountain, draws readers into the wild heart of Idaho’s landscapes and secrets.
