About Me

I live in New Jersey and can't believe my kids have Jersey accents (I grew up in Boston, with a brief stop in Georgia and only had a fabulous southern accent for about a year when I was 4). I write books, I have a webpage www.gwendolengross.com and I drink too much coffee. But it's decaf. I used to ice climb and do a lot of caving and backpacking, but right now, it's mostly dayhikes and a lot of laundry. But then there's the writing.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

other writers, other readers, and of course people who read my books, because I'm not all that vain, but hopeful. If people love your books, you get to write more books, and that means you don't have to spend as much time doing the laundry. Oh, and Obies. I went to Oberlin. Even though it's a long commute to Cleveland, there are some extraordinary people there.
