Ginger Bensman

I was awarded a Ph.D. in Human Development from the University of Maine in Orono in 1993 and spent 25 years directing programs for at-risk children and their struggling families. But I was always a writer too, even when there were only corners and patches of time and taking those moments for writing felt like I was stealing. Now I happily write whenever I want (whenever I'm not reading or gardening or watching my grandsons grow). I live in Salem, Oregon with my husband Walt.
