Russell W. Joyce and his now wife, Anna, were just engaged, swooning over each other, and kissing. Suddenly, Anna pulled back. "Stop that," she said. Joyce had no idea what she was talking about.

At first, Chad and Adaeze Brinkman wanted to write a book that let the reader be a fly on the wall as the two discussed their interracial relationship.

Interview

What's your favorite social network?

When you're not at a computer, where are you most likely to be?

Reading, playing with my two redheaded little boys, or enjoying an episode of The West Wing with my husband.
