From her earliest memory, A.B. has never been without a dog or a book. She lives with two of the former (Sadie, The Wheaten, and Sheila, The Westie) and a thousand or so of the latter in the TKE neighborhood. In 40 years of (mostly) nonprofit public relations work, she's had the good fortune to promote things she believes in and have fun while she's at it. Her Irish luck continues with her King's English assignment, helping to publicize events for writers and readers. A.B. spends her downtime as she has for decades, desperately trying to play tennis like Martina.
