Nancy Griffin has been a freelance writer for more than 20 years, writing for newspapers, magazines, and trade publications. Before that, she was a newspaper and wire service reporter and editor. Nancy is the author of two previous books. She also has taught workshops on writing and newsletter publishing for the University of Maine in Augusta. A lifelong whoopie pie lover, she can often be found munching one of these classic treats while writing (or driving, or sitting in the house with a cup of coffee) and she has even been known to share, but not often. Her home is in Thomaston, Maine.
