Hi there! We’re Cassidy Carson and JT Hume. Authors, podcasters, and travelers.
First, the social media platforms.

Now, the meet cute: a couple recent high school graduates work together at Wendy’s. Inciting incident: JT asks CC out and they go on a few dates. Turning point: JT already joined the United States Air Force. Raising the stakes: once JT left for basic training, CC’s family convinced her to go to college to become a lawyer. The crisis: two people on living on opposite sides of the country in a time before cell phones and social media pursue separate lives.
End of story?
Nope!
The resolution: JT visits during Christmas leave and proposes to CC. The two marry and live happily ever after in such exotic locales as Nebraska and Japan before returning to their beloved hometown of Carson City, Nevada to raise their three kids.
We’re a couple nerds who enjoy history, pop culture, reading, and travel. Now mild-mannered empty nesters and retirees from public service, we’ve long been passionate about helping others. Much of our former work dealt with education, history, government, and public health. We now draw from those experiences as we pursue our dream career as full-time writers.
Several years ago, we also fell into podcasting. In each weekly episode of the CC & JT Amateur hour, we discuss our lives, current projects, and topics of interest to writers. Our goal is to educate, entertain, and encourage others.
Follow along for our next new adventure!
