About the Author

Marie Lee is a native of New Jersey. With B.S. and M.A. degrees in science, her early careers were in that field, first as a bacteriologist, later as a science teacher in high school and in college. Upon moving to Cape Cod, she taught briefly at a local college but resigned in order to pursue a career in writing.

Marie lives with her husband on Cape Cod, where they are frequently visited by their two children. A committed environmentalist and naturalist, Marie can frequently be found in her garden coaxing plants from the sandy Cape Cod soil--organically of course.
