KYM O’CONNELL-TODD and MARK TODD are co-authors of The Silverville Swindle and The Silverville Pantiwyckes. Kym has served as a publisher, editor and writer for magazines, newspapers and Internet news services. Mark teaches creative writing at Western State College and authored the scifi novel, Strange Attractors and two books of collected poetry, Wire Song and Tamped But Loose Enough to Breathe. They live in a Western Colorado ranching community with five horses, three dogs and six worthless housecats. They spend most of their time feeding animals and all of their money on veterinarian bills. Ever looking for the offbeat, the Todds also study ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs and Middle Eastern drumming. They argue constantly over what really happened at Roswell.
