About Mary Howard Books
After teaching English at Iowa State University for a while, Mary Howard advised art and design students in the College of Design at ISU for seventeen years, which inspired her to write novels with visual artists as main characters. 'The Girl with Wings' is her second suspense novel to feature graphic designer Linda Garbo and the fictional Madison County town of Linden Grove. Mary was named among "Outstanding Writers" in The Pushcart Prize, IX for her short fiction. Parts of this novel were written during a Residency at The Ragdale Foundation, Lake Forest, Illinois. She lives in Ames, Iowa.
