Meet the two halves of the writing team of JoAnn and Jim Carland. Scholar-Entrepreneurs, the Drs. Carland have written more than a dozen textbooks, more than 200 scholarly articles, started more than a dozen businesses, and are internationally known in the entrepreneurship literature. Formerly licensed private investigators, their fiction writing began with a mystery and detective series featuring career weary college professors and focusing on plots evolved from actual cases. The Carson family series begins with Hidden Malice. They branched out into international thrillers with Prometheus Unleashed, and its sequel, Killing in the Market, both fast paced, edge of your seat action dramas. Life partners since 1971, the Drs. Carland actually began their relationship in the first grade, when at the age of 6, Jim was caught shooting spit balls at JoAnn and had to spend the rest of the day standing in the corner.
