R.K. LUSTIG grew up in Decatur, Alabama, a few miles from where NASA developed the Saturn V rocket that got us to the moon. When the neighborhood windows were shaking, that meant the big rocket was being tested. She was an Air Force officer before shifting to a stay-at-home mom then to a web developer and IT trainer. She has lived in several states, England and the Azores, Portugal and now calls Madison, Alabama home. SILAS AND THE MOON DOGS is her debut children's book.
