Kristen Britain

Kristen Britain grew up in the Finger Lakes region of New York State, where she started her first novel - an undersea fantasy featuring herself and her friends - at the age of nine. She published her first book, a cartoon collection called Horses and Horsepeople, at the age of thirteen. After completing her degree in film production at Ithaca College in 1987 she made the logical (?!) leap from cinema to the National Park Service. Her many years as a park ranger enabled her to work in a variety of natural and historical settings, from 300 feet below the surface of the Earth to 13,000 feet above sea level on the Continental Divide; and from the textile mills of the American Industrial Revolution to the homes of Americans who changed the cours

Joanne Bertin

I was born in 1953 in the borough of Manhattan in New York City. I was there for a very short time, though, as my parents soon returned to their home in Stamford, CT. I've lived most of my life since then in one town or another in Connecticut.

I've held a variety of jobs from working in factories (no fun) to painting comic books back in the days when the color separating was done by hand (also no fun, but did I ever get some great double-takes when asked "So, what do you do for a living?") to a couple of years in a second job as an assistant goatherd on a dairy goat farm (fun). For the past twenty years or so I've worked in libraries--just can't get away from books!

My ambition is to make enough money from my books that I can quit my day job
