Chris Portie

We’re a group of friends, each with a different set of gifts, faults, and opinions on who would win in a fight, a lion or a tiger. The one thing we had in common, though, was at some point in time, we all felt kinda stuck. But we thought, if we could just get going and do something that was fun, random, weird, outrageous, even if it had nothing to do with our life goals, then we might feel a little less stuck. So we did things. Weird things. Like really weird things... And then we started writing about the things we were doing. We had stories, experiences, and moments of growth we felt most people didn’t have. Then one day, we just kind of felt… unstuck. The things we did created momentum for the important things we wanted and needed to do. Enter players 1-3:

I, the artist formally known as Maggie Baine, was evicted from my mother's uterus in the year 1994. I spent my childhood inventing and subsequently living in my own fantasy world know as Rainbowland. I survived being educated by nuns in high school, and continued on to college where I received my BA in Writing, Theology, and Sociology. I live in St. Charles, MO with my husband Steven where I can often be found doing stuff and writing. I suggest you take this book to do stuff and write about it too. There Chris, I sent you my bio. Now stop calling me crying.

Chris here! Let’s see, here’s a quick overview: class clown, film guy, marketing too, so much ADHD, and I’m a serial passion project-er and cereal enthusiast. I had the original idea for the book and hopefully you enjoy the fudge out of it. With friends like Maggie and Daniel, I feel like the luckiest author of a book with under 4000 words in the whole world.

Hey I’m Dan, a Louisiana native trying to grab life by the balls. I recently moved to St Louis, MO with an intense shortage of friends, but I’m unwaveringly optimistic. I don’t sweat the small things, like exercise and will probably out-day-dream you. I lean East in politics with a pension for fantasy, particularly in regards to aliens and ridiculous conspiracy theories. To sum it up, I’m down for almost anything, like this book that my weird (good) friends Chris and Maggie fear-mongered me into doing.

Our hope is that through this book, you'll find what you're looking for, whether that's confidence, stories, adventures, momentum, relief, inspiration, or the heart dropping joy of finding and holding a baby lamb.

You should... check it out and see if it helps.

Peace!
