Finding Mr. Ness - Softcover

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Like the characters in their book, Finding Mr. Ness, Katherine Burk and Gloria Burke have embarked on an exciting journey together. What began as a way for mother and daughter to connect despite the miles between them has turned into a successful cooperative writing practice, and it's only just begun. Katherine spent several years in the political arena and the cellular telecommunications industry before taking on a new career direction: raising a growing family. Now she's active in her Pacific Northwest community, contributing time and energy to her children's schools, extracurricular activities and other charitable organizations. Writing and illustration are Katherine's way of passing on some of the magic of her childhood to her own children. Gloria has always been involved with child development. A mother and a grandmother, she's also a recently retired Child Psychiatrist and Psychoanalyst, and was the Medical Director at a charitable therapeutic nursery school. She's been actively engaged with writing in the San Francisco Bay Area for over 20 years. Co-writing books with her daughter Katherine is a natural extension of her love for family, children and creative expression. Finding Mr. Ness is Katherine and Gloria's first publication together. With over 800 miles between them the process is sometimes challenging, but always rewarding. They are currently writing the next book in The Tilania Travelers Series, The Scrolls of Tilania.
