Abigail Rayner was born in England where they have lots of history and rain. When she grew up, she became a reporter and moved to New York, where she was encouraged to write stories, but not the made-up kind. These days she lives in New Jersey, with her wonderful husband, two brilliant kids, two hilarious dogs and an assortment of other people's hounds who call our place their second home. She never gets in trouble for making up stories, although she is subject to the occasional eye roll from the kids.
