Shreve Stockton
I’m 33. I live in a town of 300 people, where it’s a sixty mile trip to the nearest grocery store and not uncommon to swing by the post office or bar on horseback.
In 2005, I had plans to move from San Francisco back to New York City - plans that were derailed when I rode through Wyoming and fell in love with this place. I went on to New York, but a month later turned around, returned to Wyoming, and moved to the area where I had only spent one day.
For more about the "Farmily" and my life in Wyoming, visit my new site HONEY ROCK DAWN !
You can also see more of my writing and photography at Vespa Vagabond , a site recounting my solo ride across the country on a Vespa.
My first book, a health guide and cookbook, was published in 2005.

Jasmin Darznik
There comes a point when the secrets you've kept most hidden become the stories you must tell. I was born in Iran and moved with my family to the U.S. when I was five. Even after earning a PhD in English from Princeton, I never considered becoming an author. But accidentally finding out about my mother's secret life changed that. In 2011, I published my first book, The Good Daughter, which tells the story of how my mother was married at thirteen and forced to give up a child, a half-sister I never knew. That book changed my life. Since then I have been in pursuit of lost or forgotten stories--and the pleasure of disappearing into other worlds through writing.

Since then I've been moving even more 'upcountry', to Bristol where I did my teacher training, to Forest Gate in Newham where I had my first teaching, and from there to Oxford, where I worked for BT for three years, and then Waltham Abbey. Finally to Norwich where my sons grew up and I taught music.
