Kristin Clark Venuti

Kristin Clark Venuti wrote on many things while growing up, including her father s prized dictionary, her mother s walls, and the family dog (with blueberry ink, of course). Now a children s-theater producer, scene painter, and two-time black belt, she lives with her husband, children, and their ink-free dog in the Santa Cruz Mountains of California. "Leaving the Bellweathers" is her first novel. You can visit her online at www.leavingthebellweathers.com."
