Yael Goldstein Love was born and raised in Highland Park, NJ, and attended the Rabbi Pesach Raymon Yeshiva. The final tweaks to her education came at Harvard, where she ignored her grandmother's many warnings and studied philosophy.
After graduating college, Yael began work on Overture and supported herself with jobs including but not limited to: bartender, waitress, secretary, event planner, writer for Sparknotes Study Guides, admissions consultant, and publishing assistant for The Paris Review.
In 2004 she published the short story When Skeptics Die in Commentary Magazine. In 2005 her essay When God is Your Favorite Writer appeared in the anthology Who We Are: On Being (and Not Being) A Jewish American Writer, which won the National Jewish Book Award. She sold Overture to Doubleday in 2005, and it was published in 2007. The paperback version of the novel will be published by Broadway Books in August 2008 under the title The Passion of Tasha Darsky.
Yael currently lives in Cambridge, MA, where she teaches at Grub Street, Inc. and is at work on her second novel. Her hobbies include eating, worrying, and interstate moves. She also enjoys meeting with book clubs, in person or by phone.
Patricia Wild's full-time writing career began in 1998 when her novel, Swimming In It, was published by Flower Valley Press, Gaithersburg, MD. For many years, she had taught adult learners at the Somerville Center for Adult Learning Experiences; Swimming In it is based on the stories her homeless students had told her. A bi-monthly columnist for The Somerville Journal for the past ten years, she is presently writing the sequel to Swimming In It, entitled Welling Up, and revising her play, "Not for Nothing." She recently completed the web-based companion to Way Opens, www.tiljusticerolls.com, which tells the story of Lynchburg, Virginia's civil rights movement. Her short stories have appeared in Wilderness House Literary Review, Out of the Blue Writers Unite: An Anthology and Peeks and Valleys: A New England Fiction Journal. Her poetry has been published in P&Q Press and the Ibbetson Street Press.
A member of Friends Meeting at Cambridge, a mother and grandmother, Patricia lives with her husband in Somerville, Massachusetts.
Lisa Beatman currently manages adult education programs at the Harriet Tubman House in Boston, MA. She studied international public administration at the Kennedy School of Government at Harvard. Her poems and stories have appeared in Lonely Planet, Lilith Magazine, Hawaii Pacific Review, Powhatan Review, Rhino, Manzanita, and Pemmican. Her first book, "Ladies' Night at the Blue Hill Spa" ($9.95), was published by Bear House Publishing.
Doug Holder, Editor of Ibbetson Street Press, says, "Lisa Beatman's poetry reminds me of another Mass. Cultural Council Award winner, Charles Coe. Both Cole and Beatman's work is accessible but layered with meaning. Their poetry has an ample dose of levity, and at the same time, it is wise and knowing. Beatman has a gimlet reporter's eye and a poet's heart."
