Lori Sawicki grew up in a small town in Michigan and holds a master’s degree in children’s literature. She’s the author of one previous novel, 'Because Sometimes a Miracle is a Pussy Willow Tree.' She loves writing fiction for middle readers and young adults and is excited to launch Identity Novels. 'The Power of Two' is the first in that collection. Sawicki lives in Ann Arbor with her husband, Chuck; and their son, Nathan, currently attends the University of Michigan. Sawicki loves living in a subdivision where wildlife rules. Her yard is home to a multitude of animals and serves as a thoroughfare for many deer, an occasional coyote, and two ducks named Gert and Ernie. These animals are a constant source of amazement and curiosity for the Sawicki's dog, Shoobie. With the best of all worlds, Sawicki loves being close to nature, near good friends, and close enough to the U of M to visit her son from time to time.
