About the Author
Tod Davies is the author of
Snotty Saves the Day,
Lily the Silent, and
The Lizard Princess, three novels from The History of Arcadia series, and the cooking memoirs
Jam Today: A Diary of Cooking With What You've Got and
Jam Today Too: The Revolution Will Not Be Catered. Unsurprisingly, her attitude toward literature is the same as her attitude toward cooking — it's all about working with what you have to find new ways of looking and new ways of being, and in doing so, to rediscover the best of our humanity. Davies lives with her husband Alex, and their two dogs, in the alpine valley of Colestin, Oregon, and at the foot of the Rocky Mountains, in Boulder, Colorado.
