About the Author

M. G. TARQUINI admits to having been raised in an Italian family on the mean streets of suburban Philadelphia. She has many siblings and numerous cousins, some of whom say 'Yo!' Her mother is a gourmet cook and her father, a good provider. She went to well-funded public schools.

Ms. Tarquini took longer than necessary to earn degrees in Accounting and Computer Science with minors in a variety of subjects. She always got good grades. She's worked at a number of dead-end jobs requiring varying levels of physical and mental acumen. Most paid pretty well. She has a nice husband and nice kids. Her search for mental instability ended when she took up writing.

Under oath, Ms. Tarquini will swear that none of the characters or events in any of her stories have anything to do with any actual events or actual persons living, dead or closely-related. She finds her ideas in dusty back corners of places not mentioned in polite company.
