Author

Dee Ann Bogue

The 2,000 earthquakes of 1811-12 in New Madrid, Missouri became her passion after visiting the site. Tansy and the 2,000 Earthquakes, her first novel, resulted, and is aimed at young adults who, she hopes, will find this story as exciting as she has. Dee Ann has always been a writer of newsletters, essays, poetry, and short stories. She taught elementary school and adult education in Oregon and Missouri for over thirty years . She lives on the Oregon coast with her husband Pete, where she enjoys the ever-changing ocean, her book club, fabric arts, and volunteering at the county jail with Prison Fellowship.
