Author Biography

Jenny Kalahar was born in the state of Washington and she and her four older brothers were raised in Grass Lake, Michigan. She married Patrick, a used and rare bookseller, and they had open bookshops in Michigan and Ohio until moving to live and work in an old Indiana schoolhouse. They now sell books online and Patrick restores and repairs the tattered and torn volumes sent to him from around the country. They are both members of Last Stanza Poetry Association. Jenny is the author of two novels in her Turning Pages series - Shelve Under C: A Tale of Used Books and Cats, and its sequel, The Find of a Lifetime: Another Tale of Used Books and Cats. Both are based on their experiences in Ohio where they fostered cats from the local shelter in their bookshop, finding new homes for more than fifty cats over the years. When not selling books or writing, Jenny avoids doing housework; plays her piano moderately well; reads; walks their terrier, Weegee; pets their cats; plays the bells and xylophone in a community band; and explores dusty flea markets and interesting antique shops.
