Author Dale Evva Gelfand taught herself to read at the tender age of three. Clearly she was destined to be a wordsmith--and for some 30 years she has been happily plying her craft as a writer and a freelance book editor. On the writing side, she has authored YA books--biographies (ranging from historical legends to pop culture icons) and history--as well as a number of publications about creating and preserving wildlife habitat that all speak to her affinity for nature. She was also a contributing writer to several health-related reference books. As an editor, she has worked with major publishing houses on virtually every genre imaginable, from romances and Edgar Award-winning mysteries to cookbooks and guidebooks. When not reading pretty much anything she can get her hands on--especially of the history and arts variety--she can be found tending her gardens, hiking the woods with her lovable mutt (who co-exists with her two lovable cats far better than they co-exist with one another), and photographing the world around the upstate New York home that she shares with her significant other.
