Naomi Wark

Naomi Wark is a life-long resident of Washington State. She lives on Camano Island on beautiful Puget Sound, the location of both her books. Helping care for a grandmother with dementia provided depth to her character in her debut novel, Wildflowers in Winter, the story of ninety-two-year-old Edna Pearson and her struggles with Alzheimer's. The prequel, Songs of Spring, opens with the birth of Edna Pearson in 1902 and tells the story of two sisters who face the constraints of the first two decades of the twentieth century. Both books draw inspiration from discovered diaries dating back to 1919. Naomi's writing style has been compared to Jamie Ford and Amy Tan.
