Last year we saw a piece about another Pasadena writer: ," an investment author whose work includes Behavioral Mathematics and co-authorship on The Pavlovian Investor.

“I have some (books) that are geared to the broke college student, some for the person that may only have $100 to start and then I go all the way up to advanced concepts that are explained in a way that is easy to understand,” said Michaud.

Another local writer who's often featured on Pasadena Patch is  author Sandra Humphrey, whose featured blog posts are from her work on her book of the same name about people who have risen up to overcome challenges.
