Linus Pauling
Linus Carl Pauling FRS (February 28, 1901 – August 19, 1994) was an American chemist, biochemist, chemical engineer, peace activist, author, and educator. He published more than 1,200 papers and books, of which about 850 dealt with scientific topics. New Scientist called him one of the 20 greatest scientists of all time and as of 2000, he was rated the 16th most important scientist in history. For his scientific work, Pauling was awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1954. For his peace activism, he was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1962. He is one of five people to have won more than one Nobel Prize (the others being Marie Curie, John Bardeen, Frederick Sanger and Karl Barry Sharpless). Of these, he is the only person to have been awarded two unshared Nobel Prizes, and one of two people to be awarded Nobel Prizes in different fields, the other being Marie Curie. Pauling was one of the founders of the fields of quantum chemistry and molecular biology. His contributions to the theory of the chemical bond include the concept of orbital hybridization and the first accurate scale of electronegativities of the elements. Pauling also worked on the structures of biological molecules and showed the importance of the alpha helix and beta sheet in protein secondary structure. Pauling's approach combined methods and results from X-ray crystallography, molecular model building, and quantum chemistry. His discoveries inspired the work of James Watson, Francis Crick, Maurice Wilkins and Rosalind Franklin on the structure of DNA, which in turn made it possible for geneticists to crack the DNA code of all organisms. In his later years, he promoted nuclear disarmament, as well as orthomolecular medicine, megavitamin therapy, and dietary supplements, especially ascorbic acid (commonly known as Vitamin C). None of his ideas concerning the medical usefulness of large doses of vitamins have gained much acceptance in the mainstream scientific community. He was married to the American human rights activist Ava Helen Pauling. Source: wikipedia.org

Lisa Childs
Lisa Childs was born on 31 October, a Halloween birthday predestined her to a life of writing suspense. Born soft-spoken into a big, boisterous family where only he who speaks loudest is heard, she learned early to express herself through the written word. She has been writing since she could first form sentences and transfer them to paper with crayon. Her first books revolved around the antics of the family dog until she discovered Nancy Drew and the Hardy Boys. Then writing mysteries became second nature for her. At 11 she won her first writing award and was interviewed by the local newspaper. That story's plot revolved around a kidnapping, probably something she wished on any of her six siblings. Lisa lives in Michigan, with a husband who provides loving support with praise and extra housecleaning duty, and two beautiful daughters who share her love of the written word. During the day she is a part-time insurance agent and full-time wife and mother. When night falls and fog from their 15-acre swamp wraps around their house, she becomes the focused writer, spinning stories she hopes her readers will enjoy. She enjoys the mix of suspense and romance. Readers are welcome to contact Lisa at PO Box 139, Marne, MI 49435.

Lorna Michaels
Thelma Zirkelbach was born and raised in Austin, Texas. At age four, she composed a poem that went, "Happy as a chicken, Happy as a pig, Happy as a rabbit that danced a little jig" and announced that someday she would be a writer. Okay, she had a ways to go, but her goal was clear. It would, however, take several decades to realize that goal. As a child she loved pretending. She and her friends dressed up in her mother's old clothes and imagined they were movie stars or shipwrecked on a desert island. Or she created elaborate stories about a set of paper dolls that lived in, of all places, an orphanage. Her other favorite thing to do was read. She was always being accused of having her nose in a book. She still does. Pretending gave way to more realistic activities in high school and college—football games, parties, school activities. When she had to declare a college major, she impulsively chose speech pathology because she had recently read an article about it in Seventeen magazine. It's a choice she never regretted. Near the end of her junior year, her college career was interrupted when her dress blew into a gas stove and she was severely burned. She spent three months in a burn ward and four more in bed at home. She had to learn to walk all over again, but she also learned that she had the fortitude to overcome pain and the determination to return to her normal life. Within a year she was back in school. After graduation she moved to Houston where she worked as a speech pathologist in the public schools for a year and then quit to get married, have babies, drive carpools, and bake cookies. She had become June Cleaver. Divorce brought that phase of her life to a close. She returned to college for a masters degree, met her present husband, and the two of them combined their families. She'd moved from Leave it to Beaver to The Brady Bunch. She was busy—working as a speech pathologist, going back to school again for a doctorate, and raising a rambunctious family of three kids. Then one day she picked up a Silhouette Romance and got hooked. Soon, reading wasn't enough; she was determined to write a book of her own. She joined Romance Writers of America, started attending conferences and entering contests. Finally on day she got "the call." She'd sold her first book. She combined her two children's names—Lori and Michael—to come up with her pen name Lorna Michaels, and saw her first book published in 1991. She also wrote as Thelma Zirkelbach and Thelma Alexander. She has continued her private speech pathology practice and written 10 more books. How does she find the time? Except for an occasional special program, she doesn't watch television. But the sacrifice has been worth it. She's fulfilled her lifelong dream of being a writer. Today, she has 3 grown children, 2 grandchildren, and 2 demanding cats.

Louis De Wohl
Wohl was born in Berlin to a poor Catholic family, with a Hungarian father and Austrian mother of Jewish descent. In 1935, he emigrated to England due to his objections to the Nazi regime. He began writing as early as the age of 7. His teachers praised his ability. At the age of 8 he wrote the play "Jesus of Nazareth" because he didn't like how Jesus was portrayed by some books he read. Writing as Ludwig von Wohl, he became quite a successful novelist during his youth in Germany, where sixteen of his novels were turned into films. The best known of these was the 1934 comedy classic Die englische Heirat (The English Marriage). In an audience with Pope Pius XII he was told to "write about the history and mission of the Church in the World." The Cardinal of Milan, Ildefonso Schuster, came to de Wohl after reading some of his writings telling him "Let your writings be good. For your writings you will one day be judged." From that time, he allegedly believed that he had to write for God, and felt that his earlier novels in the German language were of 'small significance compared to the novels he wrote for the glory of God'.
