M.M. JustusAbout MeMy first visit to Yellowstone National Park was at age four. I'm told it snowed on us on the Fourth of July while we were there. I spent most of my childhood summers in the back seat of a car, traveling with my parents to almost every national park west of the Mississippi and a great many places in between. Writing has always been an integral part of my life, from childhood journals and stories on to the six manuscripts that preceded Repeating History. I have a bachelor’s degree in British and American literature and history, a master’s degree in library science, and a certificate in museum studies. I was a reference librarian, aka a professional dilettante, for sixteen years. I am currently working as an independent museum curator and exhibit designer as well as writing the sequel to Repeating History, set during the Klondike Gold Rush of 1898. Other things I love include quilting, gardening, meteorology, and the travel bug I inherited from my father, including multiple trips back to my favorite Grand Geyser and the rest of Yellowstone. I live on the rainy side of the Cascade mountains within easy reach of my other favorite national park, Mt. Rainier. I am a member of Women Writing the West, the Washington Museum Association, and the Geyser Observation and Study Association. |
