Anne Warren Smith grew up in the Adirondack Mountains of upstate New York. She now lives in Corvallis, Oregon, where she has raised two daughters and several dogs. She teaches creative writing, walks the Oregon trails, noodles on her harp, and knits sweaters for her granddaughter. Every Thanksgiving for as long as she can remember, there has been a turkey on her table. But that could always change. Her novel Tails of Spring Break continues the story that started with Turkey Monster Thanksgiving.
