About the Author

KAREN RANNEY began writing when she was five. Her first published work was
The Maple Leaf,
read over, the school intercom when she was in the first grade. In addition to wanting to be a violinist (her parents had a special violin crafted for her when she was seven), she wanted to be a lawyer, a teacher, and, most of all, a writer. Though the violin was discarded early, she still admits to a fascination with the law, and she volunteers as a teacher whenever needed. Writing, however, has remained an overwhelming love of hers. She loves to hear from her readers readers—please write to her at karen [email protected] or visit her website at
