Paula Eldridge has been writing ever since she could hold a pencil or punch a key on the ancient family typewriter. She has been a columnist and feature article writer for the American Kennel Club Gazette, and other periodicals. When she’s not writing, she is reading or training and showing her Belgian Tervuren dogs, or performing her day job as a child psychologist. A transplant from the Boston area, she lived and worked for several years on the Navajo Reservation. She now lives in the Phoenix area with her mother, daughter and two grandchildren and three dogs.
