From the clay, tobacco fields and swampland of the dirty south and now living as a librarian-in-training on the northwest side of Chicago, Louise Tripp studied English with a concentration in creative writing at the University of Illinois at Chicago. She's currently at work on her second novel, while trying to get the first published and periodically blogs here: http://risktoblossom.blogspot.com/
She lives with her superhero feline, Merlin The Wondercat and in her spare time likes to alphabetize things.
