Bridgette Ehly had a 15-year career as an award winning TV news journalist. Now she stays at home with her kids and writes about strange things. Her imagination has run wild since she grew up in the thick woods of Indiana, a place where fallen trees are castles and winding streams lead to other planets. She graduated from Indiana University and worked as a reporter in Dallas and Boston and anchored news programs in Ohio and Texas. She lives near Louisville with her husband and two children. When they aren’t experimenting in the kitchen, they ride horses and hike in the forest around their home. Her favorite authors are Jack Finney, Ursula Le Guin, Richard Peck, Samantha Hunt, C.S. Lewis, and George McDonald.
