Lynda Rutledge has been a junior high teacher, a copywriter, a journalist, a book club director, and, once upon a time, a 13 year old. She was inspired to write this young adult novel after researching the world of donor insemination for a series on the subject of the human side of "reprotech." A native Texan, she has always been fascinated with the big, wide world, and that curiosity has led her here, there and a big chunk of everywhere as a writer. She's hang-glided off a small Swiss mountain, swam with endangered sea turtles, petted baby rhinos and dodged hurricanes. Her writing career has allowed her to wander down roads in Australia, Europe, Hawaii, Mexico, much of the Caribbean and the continental U.S., behind the scenes at the San Diego Zoo—even back to Texas. But her husband, Don, her dog Brazos and her thirteen-year-old Miata convertible keep her coming back home. Her articles have appeared coast to coast in major newspapers such as the Chicago Tribune, the Chicago Sun-Times, the Houston Post and the San Diego Union-Tribune, and her nonfiction books have been reviewed in The Washington Post, U.S. News and World Report, Library Journal and Publishers Weekly. She's also taught on the faculties of Baylor University, Texas Tech University, Columbia College Chicago, and Austin Peay State University. She won an Illinois Arts Council award for this topical young adult novel, Brave New Wanda. More About Lynda Rutledge
