Phil and Maude Mayes live in Santa Barbara, California, having started in London, England and New York City respectively. Phil is a software engineer and photographer. Maude works with adults with developmental disabilities and owns a business importing and selling antique European linens and laces. They are a happily married couple who have both had previous marriages and several long-term relation­ships. The striking difference between their marriage and prev­ious relationships caused much reflection and discussion between them, and was the genesis of their book.
