J.D. Peterson
Not much is known about the strange & mysterious J.D. Peterson. Somewhat unreliable sources tell us that J.D. Peterson was born sometime between 1945 and 1971, or maybe earlier or later. His real name may be Jefferson Davis Pernoste, and he’s probably a doctor, but doctor of what, nobody knows.

J.D. Peterson’s xenohistorian peers (who always prefer to remain anonymous), think that his real name may be J.P. Homer [although he’d have to be ~16,000 years old] or he may be an immigrant from planet Orn. More critical colleagues suggest that J.D. Peterson is a dar moft, which may explain why nobody has ever seen or met the guy. The big nose & green skin would probably give him away. Others think he’s just some nutty writer.

Barbara Delinsky
I was born and raised in suburban Boston. My mother’s death, when I was eight, was the defining event of a childhood that was otherwise ordinary. I took piano lessons and flute lessons. I took ballroom dancing lessons. I went to summer camp through my fifteenth year (in Maine, which explains the setting of so many of my stories), then spent my sixteenth summer learning to type and to drive (two skills that have served me better than all of my other high school courses combined). I earned a B.A. in Psychology at Tufts University and an M.A. in Sociology at Boston College. The motivation behind the M.A. was sheer greed. My husband was just starting law school. We needed the money.

There's nothing I love more than a good chat (except perhaps a good chat and chocolate--see the theme here?). So don't be shy--get in touch!
