Libby Ross fled betrayal and heartbreak in Chicago when she headed to Montana expecting a new start, children, and a good place to raise them. Riprap, anyone? How about a nice detention pond? Just the kids and me, candles burning, and the elevator music coming out of my CD player.īefore I made the leap to full-time writer, I spent about 12 years working for consulting civil engineers. My hours are kind of goofy-I'm just not a morning person and tend to be up late when the rest of the world is sleeping-and QUIET. Getting up to step around them is like maneuvering an obstacle course, but they are my children and so dear to me. I have a Great Pyrenees dog, one cat, a finch, and three chickens who all seem to want to be in my small office while I'm trying to work (except the chickens, although they'd be thrilled to get into the house if I let them). I live in the Pacific Northwest near the Columbia River, still within 10 miles of my old high school. I love to cook, read, entertain friends, decorate, and pursue various crafts. I also make jewelry and I'm a fine needlework artist, specializing in embroidery, thread crochet, and sewing. Of all the books I've written I've had just one foreign sale, and that was THE IRISH BRIDE, which was translated into Norwegian, where I understand it was a big hit. I've been a self-employed working novelist for the past twenty years.
