Corinne Demas always wanted a dog when she was a child, but the New York City apartment building where she grew up didn't allow them. Since then, she's had three dogs: Melly, Suba, and Argos. She is the award-winning author of numerous books for children and adults, including the picture book Always In Trouble. Demas lives with her family in Massachusetts and is a professor of English at Mount Holyoke College. Her website is www.corinnedemas.com.

Demas delivers a tale of love, betrayal, and literature: the story of six members of an elite writing circle who share much more than their works-in-progress.
