About Gretchen
I worked in publishing forever before becoming a writer. I have published many short stories and essays prior to my award winning series, Send Me the Soap.

Oh, by the way, you mentioned Kent. I was there on May 4, 1970 as a freshman, protesting the war! I went on to earn a bachelors, masters, and Ph.D. from good old KSU. Great place and a great town to live in!
