Meredith Rutter Marple

With a BS in zoology from Tufts University, Meredith Rutter Marple has enjoyed a career devoted to books—from textbook to trade publishing and then writing. She remembers her kindergarten classmates having to take naps (in the early 1950s during the polio scare) while she, promising to be quiet, was allowed to stay awake reading. She thanks her mother for that intervention. Meredith spends her time in Florida and Maine. Her award-winning debut novel, The Year Mrs. Cooper Got Out More, is set in Midcoast Maine. Hobbies include bridge, mahjong, and New York Times crossword puzzles.
