Autorenporträt
Sally Bennett Boyington fell in love with the Southwest during a childhood visit to a relative in Flagstaff, Arizona. Later visits to ruins and a memorable kachina coloring book spurred a lifelong fascination with the history and people of the Southwest.During the twenty years that she lived in one Arizona city or another as an adult, she witnessed devastatingly beautiful sunrises and sunsets, experienced spine-tingling moments of awe, and came to understand the fragility of human existence.Brought up in a family of readers, at four years old she demanded that her mother teach her to read. Three years later, she had a Halloween poem published in the newspaper: creative writing had sunk its teeth into her and never quite let go.For a long time (300 books' worth), making a living with copy editing took priority over writing, but personal changes and recent developments in the publishing industry convinced Sally to share her imagined worlds with readers. She hopes they stimulate thoughts, conversations, and a new perspective on the real world in which we live.
