Alethea D Eason

Biography I'm an author and educator living in Concón, Chile.  I work at St. Margaret´s British School for Girls as an English literacy-literature teacher.  I was a reading specialist at two Title 1 schools in California.  My novel Hungry was published by HarperCollins (Eos) in 2007.  My work has appeared in places as varied as children´s pubications Shoo-Fly Audio Magazine and New Moon Magazine and the literary journals Fontiers and Sweet Fancy Moses.  I write both poetry and fiction for both children and adults.  I was a winner of the SRA/McGraw Hill Imagine It! Teacher´s Writing Contest in which my story "Turtle Soup" was made into a picture book to supplement the reading program´s second grade curriculum and the Eugene Ruggles Poetry Prize given by Copperfield Books for their publication The Dickens.  Meetings of the Minds Publications has published my poetry chapbook Threshold, nominated for a Pushcart Prize.  My birthday is May 21, not May 20th.  Can't get the right date inserted.
