| Introduction | We live on a hilltop in Southwestern Pa. You'll only make the climb if you really have to. The remoteness and ability to live in relative seclusion with a menagerie of animals, as well as a husband and two children, has given me lots of fodder for stories. My voice seems to have found a home in middle grade (reference to age of readers, not quality of writing) fiction. I'm lucky enough to have a wonderful agent in New York who has believed in me for many years, bless him. My goal has always been to try to live two lifetimes in one. Living the last two years with Budda, I'm reconsidering the wisdom in that. |
