关于此电子书

"Whip-Poor-Wills and Fireflies" is actually a collection of poems that I have written over the years. If you go tothe book'swebsite, whippoorwillsbook.com, you will see a description of the book and the four sections it is divided into. If you are unable to use that as a basis for your description for some legal reason (you work for the publishing company that published the book, so I doubt it), or you wish me to reword it for your ereaders, just let me know. I can whip up something else quickly for you. There is also a biography page at the website that may add insight for your readers, too.

作者简介

Margaret Rose Patterson was born and raised in rural upstate New York, along the Black River in the foothills of the Adirondack Mountains. Her early years growing up on a dairy farm outside of Greig, NY (population then about 350) shaped both her love of nature and her strong Christian faith. She completed her B.A. at Union College in Schenectady, NY in 1972 before migrating south to the west coast of Florida. She met her husband, Richard Green, while she was working as a respiratory therapist and he, as a nurse, in the Sarasota area. They married in 1976. She completed her M.A. degree in education at the University of South Florida in 1986 and began teaching high school Science. Widowed after 34 years of marriage, Meg still lives in southwest Florida near her two beloved daughters, Heather and Laurel, and continues teaching in the Sarasota County School System. She has set several of the poems found in this volume to music for performance by local church choirs and by the Venice, FL choral group, Exsultate!, of which she is a proud founding member.
