Molly Ringle grew up in the Pacific Northwest and currently lives in Seattle with her husband and son. Her studies include a Bachelor of Arts in Anthropology (University of Oregon, Clark Honors College), with a focus on Native North American culture; and a Master of Arts in Linguistics (University of California, Davis) with a focus on sociolinguistics. She is likely someday to add a Master of Library and Information Sciences to this list, while never ceasing to write novels and indulge in odd blog projects on the side.
