About the Author

Lynee Rae Perkins grew up in a small town near Pittsburgh and studied art at Penn State University and the University of Wisconsin at Milwaukee.  Eventually she moved to Boston where, against all odds, she met a fellow from Michigan whose ideas about life were as impractical as her own.  They fell in love, drove to Michigan and moved into a cabin on a hillside, which has since grown larger and more houselike.  They have two small children who like to ski, and a cat who is not very smart.
