Author Information

Holly A. Swartz, MD, is professor of psychiatry at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine, director of the Center for Advanced Psychotherapy, and an internationally recognized expert in psychosocial interventions for bipolar disorder. She is actively engaged in teaching, research, mentoring, and patient care. Swartz has held elected leadership positions for national and international professional organizations, including serving as president of the International Society of Interpersonal Psychotherapy, president of the International Society for Bipolar Disorders, and treasurer of the American Society of Clinical Psychopharmacology. She is author of more than one hundred publications, coeditor of Bipolar II Disorder, and editor in chief of the American Journal of Psychotherapy. Carrie Coello appeared in her first play at age seven, as a cranky, middle-aged fortune teller. Ever since, she's sought out characters that enlighten, entertain, and hold a mirror up to the human condition. After spending a decade working in film, and another decade educating children, she's come full circle as a performer, narrating audiobooks from her Seattle studio. She collaborates with authors and publishers to bring flesh and blood to words on the page, with humor and a deep understanding of what makes people tick. Carrie draws upon her own lived experience to portray lesbian and bisexual protagonists under the pseudonym Lois Ridge. As a practicing Atheopagan, she brings authenticity to books featuring pagans, witches, and earth-based spirituality. There's a special place in her heart for the amateur sleuth, the small-town hero who pulls herself up by her bootstraps, and the teenager struggling to make sense of herself and the world around her. Let's tell her story together.
