The Camp Muralist

Jacqueline Sheehan, psychologist and New York Times bestselling author, is a New Englander through and through, though she spent twenty adventuresome years in Oregon, California, and New Mexico exploring house painting, photography, journalism, and directing a traveling troupe of high school puppeteers before returning to the East Coast. Her six previous novels: "The Comet's Tale," "Lost & Found," "Now & Then," "Picture This," "The Center of the World," and "The Tiger in the House" have sold widely and are translated into eight languages. She has been supported by fellowships at Hawthornden Castle, MacDowell, and Jentel. She teaches writing through Writers in Progress in Massachusetts and leads international writing retreats in Guatemala.
