Marguerite Mullaney is a part-time writer and full-time dreamer. She lives on the east coast of the US. The town is a peninsula hanging into the icy Atlantic at the mouth of Boston Harbor. In the heat of summer, the ocean provides cool breezes. But in the heart of winter, batters the coast with gales. It makes for a hearty New England life, which she shares with three furry companions, Dakota and the brothers Cat, Calvin, and Hobbes.
