Laurie M. Knight is a friend, mom, wife, adventurer, editor, and more. She loves working from her home on Mobile Bay, Alabama with her sidekick, a yellow Lab named Gumbo.

Reenen Stenekamp, a middle-aged husband and father of three, settled down decades ago in the Free State countryside of South Africa. He holds a law degree and has experience in rugby administration on an international level. These days he divides his time between running his own business, writing, and rugby punditry.

An unlikely duo from two very different sides of the world, Laurie and Reenen teamed up to bring Getting to the Starting Line to life.
