Peggy Carey, author of The Rock Wren’s Song, was born in Alamogordo, New Mexico, a place with an unnecessarily difficult name to spell. Running with that theme, Peggy spent her youth befriending tarantulas, catching snakes, and bringing home any stray animal. After the conservative, military-heavy influence in her early years, Peggy’s family moved to the ultra liberal Bay Area of California in her teens, about which time Peggy is curiously circumspect. She admits to having spent much time climbing in national parks, though, and at some point Peggy (or her father) decided that she ought to be an attorney. Finding her first post-law-school job unsatisfactory, Peggy picked up and moved to conservative western Colorado, where she practices law, continues to rescue stray animals, and raised a daughter so politically confused she can’t tell where the line is, much less which side she’s on. Having always had an interest in writing, Peggy began publishing articles at a young age, and won an Honorable Mention in the prestigious Peregrine Short Story contest in 2004, for her story “Rachel.” “Rachel” was published in The Peregrine, a literary magazine. She has written columns for both print and internet magazines, and blogs under various pseudonyms. Her first novel brings together her experiences as a lawyer and as a rancher’s wife, as she explores Kat Daughtery’s second year as “not a widow not a wife”.
