JUAN CARLOS DAMIGO immigrated to Miami from his native Cuba in 1968, at the tender age of 15. Almost immediately Juan developed a love of 1970's variety television and learned to speak English through continuous viewings of the sketch comedy routines of Shields and Yarnell. During these formative years Juan also developed a love of American literature by way of author Arthur Hailey. After graduating from Arkassippi Polytechnic, Juan publish his first novel, Too Much Love for One Man , under the pen name Ethan Coen. A former Kern County sheriff's deputy, and the law enforcement advisor for the hit NBC series Police Woman, Tricia Cooke is also known for her hard-hitting activist journalism for the LA Alt and the San Fernando Expat . Tricia was the recipient of the 1972 Hal Fishman Award in Journalistic Excellence for her 1971 article, "Doug Henning: It's not magic. it's cocaine." After meeting at an international conference on the lesbian antinomies of Immanuel Kant, Cooke and Damigo decided to team up for the first of their three literary collaborations, Drive- Away Dykes.

Damigo currently resides in Gorham, New Hampshire with his four cats and a miniature potbelly pig named Peppers. Cooke resides in Millville, New Jersey.
