Author Biography

Maureen McCarthy Bartlett is a dairy farmer and high school teacher and has been married to a man with Asperger Syndrome for the past twenty-one years. She lives with her husband, three sons, one dog, one chinchilla, four geese, twenty-four cats, and 300+ cows on a farm in Central New York. Maureen grew up in Lock-port, New York, and is a graduate of Amherst College and Suny Cortland. A teacher for almost twenty years, she teaches a class/shadowing program for high school seniors interested in agriculture or environmental science careers and also teaches college writing for classes of seniors heading toward health, law, education, and business careers. She loves working with teenagers - the quirkier the better.
