Autorenporträt
Elaine Kozak came to writing after several fascinating careers. She designed and sold information-retrieval systems, worked on policy and agreements to expand international trade, and, with her husband, planted a vineyard and established an award-winning winery. This last experience inspired Elaine's first book, a vineyard mystery titled Root Causes. She followed it with The Lighthouse, a family saga set in New Mexico. A question about one of the characters in The Lighthouse intrigued her, and she wrote Rhapsody in a Minor Mode to answer it. Elaine now lives in Victoria, Canada.
