Keith, Rhonda

Rhonda Keith has been an English teacher since she was 20 and a writer all her life, if you count conversations with herself as part of the writer's method. As an Air Force brat, she moved around the United States frequently and never broke the habit. Since marrying Fred Stephens, she has lived in Ohio for more than a decade (geographically half-way between her two sons), a lifetime record. The Wish Book grew out of memories of the Sears catalogues, and a fascination with mail-order forms.
