Brian O'Mara-Croft is the author of Lost in the Hive: Confessions of a Reluctant Drone, a collection of true, humorous essays. Brian is a visual communication consultant - he combines words and imagery in visual maps that provide concise directions to employees and other audiences. His academic background is in public relations/journalism. Patricia O'Mara-Croft teaches high-school art during the day and serves as self-appointed ruler of her chaotic household at night. Her absolute desire to not only to live but to thrive has featured prominently in both her life and her retelling of it. What's more, she's not afraid to laugh at herself. Her hope is that her memoir will provide not only for compelling reading, but will also inspire others to live richer, fuller lives. Brian and Patty are parents of five children in a blended family that resides on both sides of the U.S./Canada border. They live in a suburb of Chicago.
