Laurie & Co. at Robin Falls kids

Margot Finke is an Aussie transplant who writes mid grade adventure fiction and rhyming picture books. For many years she has lived in Oregon with her husband and family. Gardening, travel, and reading fill in the cracks between writing. Her husband is very supportive, though not interested in children's books. Their three children are now grown, and have provided her with 4 perfect ( it's true! ) grandchildren. Margot didn't begin serious writing until the day their youngest left for college. This late start drives her writing, and pushes her to work at it every day. Margot said, “I really envy those who began young, and managed to slip into writing mode between kid fights, diaper changes, household disasters, and outside jobs. You are my Heroes!” Margot's Musings column is featured on the Purple Crayon. Her website offers her books, lots of writing help, and a Manuscript Critique Service. Margot has three NEW books coming soon: Two more picture books, and a midgrade adventure for boys. Website: http://www.margotfinke.com
