ABOUT THE AUTHOR 

Author, Charlotte B. Wood retired after thirty-two years of teaching in the Chesterfield, Virginia, public schools. The birth of her first grandchild provided Charlotte with the inspiration to pursue her hobby of writing for children. Sadly, her husband, William, also a teacher, was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s shortly after his retirement; he passed in 2013. Charlotte’s desire to share insights learned from the challenges of her husband’s illness resulted in Remembering for Both of Us. She lives in Midlothian, Virginia, and is active in her community and church.

Illustrator Dennis Auth hails from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, where teaching guitar and leading a rock band landed him in art school, inspiring instructors and fellow design students alike. He began freelancing after relocating as an ad-agency art director to Virginia Beach, where he illustrated in multiple media for projects ranging from children’s books to striking architecture. The Tidewater area is home to Dennis, his wife, and their grown children.
