Kristin Johnson, an award-winning writer and a graduate of the University of Southern California Master of Professional Writing Program, has written about food for LivingRight.com and since her childhood is famous among her family and friends for baking Christmas cookies, particularly the family Nut Roll and German Christmas Cookies recipes. Her cookie-baking and her work on christmas cookies are for giving, led to a feature article in The Desert Sun in January 2003. She published her first novel, Butterfly Wings: A Love Story, in August 2000 and her third book, Ordinary Miracles: My Incredible Spiritual, Artistic and Scientific Journey, a collaboration with two-time Nobel Prize nominee Dr. Rupert A.L. Perrin on his memoir, will be published by PublishAmerica in 2004. A produced playwright, she recently began working on her fourth book. She is a busy lady who also maintains Poems For You, a writing business that provides biographies in verse, or celebratory poems for all occasions. She’s involved with her local chapter of Women In Film and the National League of American Pen Women. She currently lives and writes in Palm Desert, California.

Mimi Cummins grew up baking cookies with her grandmother and is an avid cookbook-reader and recipe tester. She learned professional baking while attending the University of San Diego, where she worked with the university pastry chef preparing desserts and baked goods for the campus restaurants and deli. As soon as she discovered the Internet, her interest in baking naturally found an expression there. One of her first sites was dedicated to the legendary Christmas cookie recipes of her grandmother, Evelyn. The site soon grew into the hugely popular Christmas-Cookies.com, the most comprehensive repository of Christmas cookie recipes on the Internet. Mimi’s exploits on the Web eventually led her to turn her hobby into a profession and she is now Design Manager at Xenocast, where she specializes in user-centered design. She has designed Web sites for national chains and her work has garnered the attention of the US and Canadian news media. She lives and bakes in Quebec, Canada with her husband and three boys.
