ALL ABOUT PEG My name is Peg Finley. I live in a small town in Michigan's thumb area surrounded by a pond stocked full of bass and sunfish. From my deck, I can watch all kinds of wildlife and I just love it. Living with me are my dogs Zeus, Scuba, Whitey and Thunderbutt, and cats, Brandi, Heidi, Mr., Torion, Stuey, Cameron, and Tamrick. Plus I have two indoor cats...Silky and Siren. My love of these animals often comes out in my stories as many of them are about animals. My love of reading and writing started early. Reading stories took me on wonderful adventures without my ever leaving my chair. It provided me with an opportunity to escape from the daily chores that most children on a farm have. Writng was a natural next step for me. I often fancied myself as a young Jo March from Little Women. I completed the Institute of Children's basic writing course in March of 2006 and am currently close to graduation in their advanced book course. The other love of my life has been children. As an older child in a family of 13 living children (four sisters, and eight brothers) I have always been surrounded by kids and I love them all dearly. My first accepted piece, Christopher's Choice, appeared in the July/August 2006 issue of Wee Ones Magazine. It has always been my dream to write and illustrate children's picture books and am seriously pursuing that goal. My future goals include editing works for other writers. I am the Moderator for two online picture book critique groups which has given me experience toward that goal.
