Biography
- Christine is a former Girl Scout from her home state of Hawaii. Tim was a Cub Scout during his youth in Ohio and, as an adult, has served as Den Leader and Assistant Cubmaster in Georgia's Coastal Empire Council. At the invitation of the Boy Scouts of America, the Conners recently served as judges for Scouting magazine's prestigious national camp food cooking contest, a watershed moment that ultimately led to the creation of this book. Experienced backpackers, Christine and Tim are the authors of Lipsmackin' Backpackin' and Lipsmackin' Vegetarian Backpackin', two of the most popular trail cooking books of the past decade. They are active supporters of volunteer-based organizations that preserve and protect the nation's national scenic and historic trails. Christine is also a part-time college instructor of psychology as well as the author of From High Heels to Bunny Slippers: Surviving the Transition from Career to Home. By day, Tim is an aerospace engineer specializing in propulsion system design for supersonic aircraft. Tim and Christine have been testing outdoor foods practically nonstop for over ten years now. They are grateful that their children, James, Michael, Maria, and David, are wonderfully accustomed to, and generally entertained by, the enormous range of outdoor culinary eccentricities that their parents have brought into the kitchen from the backyard. The Conners family lives near Statesboro, Georgia, where a Dutch oven can often be found warming over coals in the fire pit.
