Jeffrey Wood (born September 12, 1969 in Juneau, Wisconsin) was an independent member of the Wisconsin State Assembly representing the 67th district from 2002 to 2011. He was initially elected as a Republican and later ran as an independent.

Wood attended University of Wisconsin–Eau Claire in Eau Claire, Wisconsin. He is married and has two children.

In 2008 he was arrested on suspicion of drunk driving. His BAC^{[clarification needed]} was more than double the legal limit following an accident in which his car reportedly became airborne, and marijuana was found in the Representative's vehicle. In September 2009, Wood was arrested again for suspicion of operating while intoxicated (OWI). The charge was his fourth arrest for driving while intoxicated. Following his fourth arrest, State Representative Steve Nass proposed a resolution to expel Wood from the Assembly if he did not resign. Wood responded that he would seek treatment for his substance abuse problem.

In October 2009, Wood was arrested again in Tomah, Wisconsin for operating while intoxicated and charged with bail jumping. He was convicted on April 19, 2010 of operating while intoxicated and possession of drug paraphernalia, and sentenced to 45 days in jail and over $1,600 in fines.

Ann Maxwell (b. on April 5, 1944 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin), also known as A.E. Maxwell and Elizabeth Lowell, has individually, and with co-author and husband Evan, written over 50 novels and one non-fiction book. These novels range from science fiction to historical fiction, and from romance to mystery to suspense (Evan, exclusively, has covered all kinds of crime - from local to international). Ann and Evan have been married for over 40 years.

As a child, Maxwell read primarily classic literature. She did not read her first science fiction novel until college, and was not exposed to other genres, such as romance, until even later.

Maxwell earned a B.A. in English literature from the University of California, Riverside in 1966. Shortly thereafter, she married Evan Maxwell, a now former newspaper reporter who spent over fifteen years working for the LA Times, covering international crime. Early in their marriage, Maxwell became very bored. Her husband worked from 4:00 PM to midnight, and as there was no bus service near their house and Evan needed the car for work, Maxwell found herself alone at home with their toddler son. Maxwell did not like television and claims to have read all of the science fiction books in the local public library, in addition to everything science fiction in a local second-hand book store. After having exhausted all of her local Science Fiction options, she seated herself in front of her ancient manual typewriter and began to write a book she would enjoy, even though she had no training in creative writing.
