Caroline McCullagh, writing teacher and award-winning author, earned a master's degree in anthropology at UC San Diego. Writing Anne O'Malley's story has become her primary pastime, and 26 Eskimo Words is the second in what promises to be at least a six-book series. Besides the Anne O'Malley novels, Caroline's published books include American Trivia and American Trivia Quiz Book, both with Richard Lederer, and Sing for Your Supper: Opera Memories & Recipes. She has extensively published in newspapers and magazines and does book reviews for the Mensa magazine. When not writing, she spends time with her daughter and granddaughters, playing with her dogs, gardening, listening to classical music, reading, and indulging in long lunches with friends.
