J. T. Dutton

I grew up in Northwest Connecticut with four brothers in a house that besides us also had three cats and two dogs tearing through its rooms. At 17, I left home in search of adventure. I attended Skidmore College in Saratoga, New York, moved to Boston, Portland, Maine, New York City, Alaska, Minneapolis, Iowa City and finally settled in Northeast, Ohio with my husband Jeff. Together we are raising two amazing children, training a new dog and trying to keep the cat off the kitchen counters. I teach writing at Hiram College, and, when I can, I practice Iyengar yoga.
