Once she was fully educated, she decided to settle in Florida, but her car broke down in Texas and she's lived in Dallas ever since.

This is where us bloggers & fans get a glimpse inside the days of our favourite authors! -------------------- Here’s a little bit about me:  I’ve been trying to make the world a better place since I arrived with a book clutched tightly in my little fist. I taught nature day camp at the Norman Bird Sanctuary and environmental education as a Peace Corps Volunteer with the Jamaica Junior Naturalists. From there I flew to Dutch Harbor and boarded the Mineshima Maru to spend a few months in the Bering Sea with three other women and three hundred Japanese men(!), performing intimate operations on Pollock such as collecting otoliths and, well, sexing them.
