作者簡介
"When Gale Leach moved to Arizona, she fell in love with pickleball, a wonderful sport with a silly name. Her first book, The Art of Pickleball, won the Arizona Book Award in 2007. This success spurred her to try fiction, a lifelong dream, and in 2010 she finished her first novel, Bruce and the Road to Courage, a heroic fantasy for children. In 2011, Gale created her own publishing company and now publishes her own works, as well as those of another children's author. Gale's books have won numerous awards and are part of the school curriculum in Arizona and California. Writing fiction is now her passion, along with reading, playing Celtic music, singing, and pickleball. Gale lives with her husband, two dogs, and three cats and battles hairballs in her spare time.
