About the Author

Linda Gillen-Connell has always had a love of books. She is the published author of two other books for children. As a child, she says she lived vicariously through the many books she read. Her favorite quote is from Amy Lowell (1874-1925) "For books are more than books. They are the life, the very heart and core of ages past, the reason why men lived and worked and died, the essence and quintessence of their lives." Recently widowed, she dedicates this book to her beloved husband of forty three years, Lott Connell Jr. Until his recent death, the two resided in El Paso, Texas, but Ms. Gillen-Connell currently resides in Colebrook, New Hampshire.
