About the Author

Madeline spends most of her time in Chicago, IL, with her husband Peter Brownstone, where she enjoys writing fiction from her corner perch overlooking Lincoln Park and Lake Michigan. Graduate work in cultural anthropology and performance studies taught her to be a keen observer of the quotidian and shine a light on the oft-overlooked eloquence found in performances of everyday life. What she enjoys most about writing fiction is that it feels like play. She said, "When I write, I feel like a kid again playing with my dolls. I plunk my characters down on the page and make them walk, talk and lead the way. Sometimes I smash their heads together and watch their hair fly when they fight."

She writes realistic fiction for children, young adults and open-minded grownups, who are never too old to enjoy stories that feature younger protagonists.
