About the Author
As a child, I still recall sneaking a flashlight into bed so that I could finish reading under the covers a book from the school library before it had to be turned in the following day. Then as a teen, listening to the English teacher read aloud Johnny Tremain by Ester Forbes to the class. Everyone, myself included was mesmerized discovering how a fictional boy from the Revolutionary War is maimed for life following a tragic accident. I still recall the gasps in the room by my classmates as the bandages were taken off of Johnny s wounded hand and he discovered that that his fingers had grown together. As I studied my own fingers, imagining what it must look like to have web hands, I understood fully the significance of weaving a good tale a tale that could take the reader on a holiday for the mind. It is my sincere hope that as you read the third installment to the Doves Collect series you will be swept away to another place and time and fully enjoy finding out more of the lives and times of these fictional characters in America s most tumultuous time in history.
