This is the section where the authors list their accomplishments, degrees and awards to dazzle the book buying public and convince them that they march at the head of their chosen field. Well, we looked for our bona fides and found them stuffed under the bed covered with dust. In an attempt to clean them up a bit, they were washed on a hot water cycle and shrank two sizes so they don't really fit anymore. The authors hope that you believe them when they say that they really love art and do creative things every chance they get and frequently go to art galleries and museums. Their history together as creative types goes way back according to their past lives psychic who says they have known each other since 800 A.D. when one of them was an Irish peasant woman making mince pies and the other one was an invading Viking spreading culture, war and DNA. Liking the looks of him and his long boat, she didn't protest when he swept her and her pies up and sailed back to his homeland. They've been together, off and on for centuries ever since. She still makes mince pies and he raids just the kitchen now with armfuls of bad art, not battle-axes.
