Our Story

      Victoria Madison Hartline (future Pardue) was born and raised in the small town of Lake Wales, Florida.  She grew up riding horses, singing and reading anything whimsical or romantic.  She would go on to compete in barrel racing, winning the blue ribbon in her first competition and later the state of Florida Youth Division.  Her musical endeavors, after teaching herself guitar, led her to performing her own original songs at many venues across the Sunshine State.  Always a dreamer, her life was becoming her own ever-evolving novel, while waiting to meet the one person with whom she would continue the story.
      Kevin Eugene Pardue was born in Sunrise, Florida but spent most of his life in North Carolina.  Much of his childhood was spent outside, creating grand adventures and developing an affinity for the medieval or anything that could be seen as a quest.  Pursuing this elusive quest would take him from the Blue Ridge Mountains to the Outer Banks, from the rolling hills of Tiger Town to the Queen City.  Eventually, he found himself outside a lone grove in central Florida, Gary’s Grove, where he would meet the princess he unknowingly sought.
