Meet the Storytellers

Welcome to the heart of "Back Porch Stories," where every book is a journey into the minds and souls of our esteemed authors, Jan Cuva-Primmer and Robert Thomas Bradshaw. United by a passion for storytelling that enlightens, educates, and empowers, they bring to life narratives that resonate with readers of all ages.

Jan Cuva-Primmer, LSW

Jan Cuva-Primmer is a licensed social worker who has provided psychotherapeutic services to children, adolescents, and adults for the past 25 years. She has extensive experience specializing in trauma, abuse, anxiety, depression, and working in a variety of public and private settings. This includes grassroots advocacy organizations, hospitals, hospice, public schools, and experience in developing community organizations. Jan is presently working in Central Pennsylvania as a school social worker, where she assesses and supports students’ mental and emotional needs.

With a lifelong passion for caring and counseling, Jan found a valuable outlet for her skills and creativity through writing. She has authored a growing catalog of books geared toward children and young adults that take a therapeutic approach to teaching life lessons. With every story, she creates a realistic and relatable world of characters that illustrate important learning opportunities.

Robert Thomas Bradshaw

Robert Thomas Bradshaw has dedicated his career to tackling challenging and complex topics by making them approachable and relatable to diverse audiences. He is a seasoned crisis management consultant with over thirty years of experience in crisis management. Throughout his career, he has responded to a number of high-profile crises, both national and international, including the September 11th attack where he assisted a US airline in establishing and operating an emergency center to respond to the Pentagon aircraft crash.

Robert saw an opportunity to use his crisis management skills to reach an even broader audience through creative and educational writing. His uplifting and empowering approach pours into every book he authors. From illustrative children’s stories to real-world challenges, Robert addresses important topics in a way that draws readers in while offering hope and inspiration.
As the sports editor of his high school magazine, Robert’s passion for writing was developed early and continued throughout his career with technical writing. However, his favorite writing style is creative storytelling, especially for children and young adults. Much of his writing is inspired by the stories he would tell his daughter, Lindsey, while sitting together on the back porch of their country home. This inspired “Back Porch Stories” which is a venture he enjoys growing alongside his wife, Jan Cuva-Primmer.
