Her ancestry goes back to an ancient family tree in Asia/Mongolia. More recently from Long Island, New York, she now resides in Florida.
Poskanzer wrote Sumire for her two amazing children, one boy and one girl, who are the apples of her eye. Her goal was to mix fantasy with a touch of her historical heritage as a means for her children and family to remember her in a fun and fantastical way. This is the author’s second foray into the publishing world; her first book is for children, entitled Missy the Mouse and Her New Blouse.
The author dedicates this work to her mother, Aziza Dawlet, who passed away in January 2013. Poskanzer’s dream was for her mother to read and enjoy her book, which she didn’t get to do on this side of life, but is probably proudly delighting in on the other side.
The author’s passion, besides writing, is to travel. Meeting people, experiencing their cultures, and learning from them is the approach Poskanzer takes to grow and broaden her horizons, one culture at a time.view less
