About the Author

Claude Weidner lives with fibromyalgia. He is not a doctor, a dietitian, or any kind of medical professional, and he says so on the first page of every book he writes.

He is a third-generation tradesman from the Fox Valley in Wisconsin, by way of Texas, who learned masonry from his grandfather and still runs a renovation business. He started cooking differently because he had to. The recipes in the Break The Chains series came out of a kitchen where standing at the stove was often the hardest thing in the day.

He writes for people whose bodies run out before the day does, and for the people who cook for them. He makes no claim that his way of eating fixed anything. He says what he eats, how long it takes, and what it costs in energy, and leaves the rest to the reader and their healthcare provider.
