During the summer, I work on my own writing and lead writing workshops for young authors throughout New England.īurleigh Mutén profiles one hundred and seven goddesses in this lovely encyclopedia of female divinities. I love teaching the children in my kindergarten and first grade class to read and write. Now I am known as Nana to two boys who live in Maine. I have two children who are creative adults now: Bjorn, who is a painter and Iris, who is a photographer and librarian. I live in the woods of western Massachusetts where the hawks soar, owls glide, and the leaves rustle and whisper as I fall asleep. I was in college working in the library when I realized I wanted to write for children, but I was a grandmother before my first book GRANDMOTHERS’ STORIES was published.

I read every book of fairy tales and Greek mythology in the school and town libraries, but my favorite book (then and now) is the dictionary. I loved the clack of the typewriter and the sight of my words in print. My fifth grade teacher noticed my love of writing and appointed me editor-in-chief of our class newspaper.
