About

The Author:

Gillian is a photographer-cum-writer-cum-world-traveler who giggles whenever someone manages to use the word “cum” legitimately in a sentence. She is part Californian, part New Orleanian and part gypsy, which means she can eat an entire super chicken burrito in one sitting, drink like an Irish bartender and shrink you with her magic if you displease her. She recently realized it’s possible to get married without inhabiting Crazy Town and is navigating newlywed bliss while living in Naples, Italy. For her day job, she is a partner at Creative Distillery.

Likes: red wine, the Interweb, flip-flops, crawfish, dim sum, trashy celebrity gossip, impromptu games of tackle football
Dislikes: the song “Red Red Wine,” Navy deployments, mayonnaise, cockroaches, mandatory family sports

Her Partner in Good-Natured Mischief:

Brian is a graphic designer who has been kidnapped by the Navy but secretly wishes it were by pirates. He can quote “The Simpsons” better than any other living person, and he does a mean karaoke version of “The Humpty Dance.” He has been known to start boisterous conversations in Spanish with strangers in bars and try to fit his entire body into appliances at social events. He will stop at nothing to achieve the perfect theme party costume, whether it’s shaving his head or wearing a Lycra bodysuit.

Likes: soccer, Blue Steel, typography, Target Terror, honing his Tetris-like packing skills
Dislikes: the trifecta of evil (Papyrus, Comic Sans and Curlz), skinny jeans, abbreviations made redundant (ATM machine, PIN number, SAT test), “What Not to Wear”
