About the Authors

           Cindy and Dan have been happily married for over thirty years and living in the Pacific Northwest. Cindy is a retired nurse of twenty-four years, who enjoys reading her Bible, dog training, gardening, camping, handwork, and photography.
            Dan is best at being a husband and father but stainless steel fabrication is both his creative outlet and his vocation. He enjoys riding his "Oldwing" motorcycle and practicing his acoustic bass guitar. Though Cindy is the author, Dan’s balanced feedback earns him the title of "Co-author Number One." 
            Cindy and Dan’s two daughters, Bitsy and Annie, who graciously blessed the Buells with their four grandchildren, are both married and residing in the Pacific Northwest. This, of course, means that Dan and Cindy also have two great sons-in-law, Jeremy and Jesse respectively.
            One of the most valuable tools in the Buell’s arsenal for fostering a happy courtship, and therefore a happy marriage, is personally observing many couples through the dating process from beginning to end. Therefore, this step-by-step dating book is co-authored by many couples, yet through the perspective of two experienced, old-fashioned and twitterpated lovebirds.
            Ain’t Love Grand?!
