Kathleen Wilford was born in Panama and has lived in four different countries and three different states-but never in Kansas. She has always loved to read and was inspired to become a writer by such "classics" as Miss Osborne the Mop. She studied literature at Cornell University and at Rutgers University, where she now teaches writing. When she's not teaching or writing, Kathleen can be found outdoors, mowing the lawn or chasing her disobedient dog. Kathleen believes that to understand where you are, you need to know where you've been.That's why she loves to read and write about the past. Cabby Potts, Duchess of Dirt is her debut middle-grade novel. Connect with Kathleen at kathleenwilford.com and on Twitter at @kathwilford.
