Über den Autor

Paula Wagner and her twin sister were born in London to an English mother and a Jewish-American father. Arriving in the US, they grew up moving across the South and Midwest before the family finally settled in Northern California. Bitten by the travel bug at an early age, Wagner has also lived in Israel, Italy, and France. She holds a master's in career development and a BA in women's studies, and has studied languages at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. She divides her time between creative writing and career coaching. She and her husband currently live in Albany, CA. Their blended family includes two cats, four children, eight grandkids, and an extended family worldwide. When not chained to her laptop, Paula enjoys travel, swimming, singing, hiking, biking, river rafting, yoga, cooking, and building community.
