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.
