Description:
Raised on a 75-foot fish tender in the Gulf of Alaska, Dana Stabenow would
write stories about normal children who lived on shore, when she was not
seasick. After many experiences including working for the Alyeska Pipeline and
graduating from University of Alaska's (Anchorage) MFA program, she sold her
first book Second Star (1990). However, it was her Kate Shugak series that led
the way to her winning an Edgar Award in 1993. Appearing before a chipper crowd
at the 2004 National Book Festival, Stabenow talks about her rise to fame and
her most recent book, A Taint in the Blood (St. Martin's Press, 2004), the 14th Kate Shugak mystery.
