Biografía del autor:

With insightful encouragement from her sixth-grade teacher, Tena Green started writing at age 11. In 2000, she took a journalist position for a local newspaper, The Bellevue Gazette, where she gained a priceless education from her editor and co-workers. While working for The Gazette, she wrote more than 300 articles and started doing freelance work. Less than two years after starting as a journalist, she published her first novel, The Catalyst (2003), and has since written A Woman's Touch (2006), X-30 (2007), a collaboration with friend and horror writer Richard Dean, and Your First Year as a Principal: Everything You Need to Know That They Don't Teach You in School (Atlantic Publishing 2009). Prior to her writing career, Tena raised four children and worked in the local schools as a volunteer, substitute secretary, intervention specialist, and teacher's aide. It was there that she realized her passion for children and their education. Tena continues to write novels, give presentations for students on how to use reading and writing as an outlet, and write books to help educators become effective and successful.
