Prudy Taylor Board has 12 published books to her credit. Her first novel had to be rewritten four times and was submitted more than 30 times before being accepted and published. That's what gave her the idea for this book. She is the senior fiction editor for Futures Mysterious Anthology Magazine and a columnist for Small Press Review. For 18 years, she taught writing courses, and has frequently lectured and presented workshops at writers' workshops throughout the southeast.
