About the Author

J. Arlene Culiner, who was born in New York and raised in Toronto, has spent most of her life in England, Germany, Holland, Turkey, France, Greece, Hungary, and the Sahara. She now resides in a 300-year-old former inn in a French village of no real interest. Much to everyone's dismay, she protects all living creatures--especially spiders--and her wild (or wildlife) garden is a classified butterfly and bird reserve. She can be found at www.j-arleneculiner.com.
