D. A. Hewlett is dedicated to truth and improving quality of life. Clarissa Wilson Pine is a pseudonym used to give credit to the actual author's father for the large role he played in molding her life outlook. It also helps to provide privacy to characters populating the obfuscated and speculative events in her tales.
The author D. A. Hewlett is a college graduate, but does not feel the degree from an institution of higher learning has compromised her ability to comment accurately on reality. Ms. Hewlett saved herself from personal devastation despite random job dismissals, the savage greed of con artists, and the unpleasant actions of ordinary daily companions faced with difficult survival decisions. The author lives and loves with two cats in Small Town, USA and wishes the best of luck to all. Happy Trails.
