Gretchen Rue lives in the Canadian prairies, which affords her ample time to read during six months of winter. She plays cat mom to four mostly indifferent fur children, and plant mom to roughly 100 very demanding flora.
When she isn't sipping tea and working on her next novel, she enjoys swimming, hiking, and watching baseball.
