If you don’t agree with someone, are you a contrarian or argumentative? If you stick to what you believe, are you stubborn or determined? Red has always found Black an interesting (at times, frustrating) mix of determination and independence. But ironically, for someone who typically avoids conflict, Red has seen how thinking something through, knowing your mind, and then being willing to act on it, even if it runs contrary to others’ beliefs or expectations, can be a good thing.
Curious about the “Back Story” to our animation teasers? Red’s daughter, Sawyer, told us we needed to do some very short animated “teasers” … so Black said, “Great. You want to work in video production. Take the final working versions of our animation and start creating them!” So, she did!
P.S. – For those of you who've met us or seen us at speaking engagements, we'd love to know if you think the animators have accurately captured us! (You can email us at Banter@RedandBlackBooks.com.)
Overwhelmed by piles of paper? Well, if you’re like Red, longing for a perfectly clean desk, you might use filing cabinets or, at least, neatly stacked file folders. But a filing system that uses the floor of your workroom? And what happens when you run out of floor space?!

Can you relate to Red’s one-man (oops, make that one-woman) show? And at what point do you ask for help?
