Becca Manlove

Becca Brin Manlove's kids have mostly forgiven her for being a tree-hugging writer. She continues to make her home in the woods. In the

summer, she practices gardening and makes green tomato salsa (short growing season), and the rest of the year she skijors behind her dog Psycho Mantis. Becca hasn't quit her day job, but she is completing her next manuscript, Sweet Dreams, Michael, a combination grief, dream, and joy journal based on her experiences in the year following the death of her husband. She sees it as a way of bringing tea, toast and solace to others as they find their way through grief. She enjoyed working with illustrator Sharon Hathaway, one of her three sisters (they have a brother, too) on her first book, Hauling Water.
