Where the Light Is Brighter
C. C. Griffin
C. C. Griffin has had the honor of providing medical services as a nurse practitioner to the long-term care community for over a decade. It is only in hindsight now that her path to becoming an author grew clear. As a college student, she completed a concentration in gerontology while earning her BA in psychology at The College of the Holy Cross. She went on to pursue both a bachelor’s and master's in nursing, practicing in hospitals and outpatient settings before returning to nursing homes. Over 20 years later, inspired by her work with this remarkable and resilient community, as well as the experiences of her two grandmothers, she is excited to share her debut novel, Where the Light Is Brighter.
Mike Krysiuk — The Big One
Mike Krysiuk, aka The Big One
Mike Krysiuk grew up in Westport, Connecticut, and worked at Town Hall there for over 25 years, where his friendly and positive presence made paying taxes as close to a pleasure as it could be. He has done stand-up comedy, lectured on his story, and performed (voice and guitar) his original songs in local venues. His story was the subject of a one-man show at the Westport Museum for History and Culture, and he even had a bit part in the film, Revolutionary Road. Mike wants his story to help today’s youth learn the dangers of being a follower and not a leader, of getting in with the wrong crowd and walking in the shadows. It is Mike’s hope that his personal tragedy will prevent teenagers from reckless drinking and driving accidents. He knows he came back from the edge of death for many important purposes, but one of the greatest is sharing his story so the next generation does not forget his hard-earned lessons.
