About Us

Ted has spent a lifetime in the motion picture industry. He started in the costume department, worked his way into production, and ultimately became a producer. A member of the Directors' and Writers' Guilds, Ted was among the founders of the Northwest Film Institute. A prolific writer, Ted has written over 150 stories, including award-winning short stories. Primarily, he writes because he loves it and his mind compels him to do so. There's a lot to catch up on, but we're working on getting the stories to print.

Curtis spent his first career as a respected trial lawyer in California. His writing during that time focused on legal issues. He has published numerous articles in legal publications, but has always wanted to return to more creative roots — not that he hasn't been innovative or dramatic as a trial attorney. Ted and Curtis collaborate on numerous projects. In addition, Curtis is an avid photographer, amassing a collection of over 50,000 photographs that continues to grow. It is a collection that covers a broad spectrum of nature, cityscapes, landscapes, travel, action, and things you may not have noticed. He is also an accomplished sports photographer.

Ricardo Santos Bell has a fluid writing style all his own. Yet, some say he seems almost like a combination of Ted and Curtis, creating a new voice separate from the rest of the flock. With backgrounds spanning the United States, Mexico, and the British Isles, and storytelling in his blood, he brings an approach that taps into an uncommon wealth of experience. You may even notice family references in his stories, such as the Bell Family Circus and the Parvin family, mentioned in The Emissary and the Soldadera, a tale of war, politics, and love set against the backdrop of the Mexican Revolution.
