Poultrygeist

Mary Jane Auch was born in Mineola, New York, and raised in Rochester. At the age of forty-six, she finally knew what she wanted to be when she grew up! Auch started sending manuscripts to publishers, writing four full-length novels before she sold the first one. Then she sold a second book to another publisher that same week. It had taken two years and thirteen rejections, but she had finally reached her goal!Auch continued writing books for older kids and abandoned her dream of illustrating for a while. Then after nine books, she wrote and illustrated "The Easter Egg Farm." This set in motion a series of picture books featuring poultry involved in the arts.Auch, Mary Jane is the author of 'Poultrygeist', published 2004 under ISBN 9780823418763 and ISBN 0823418766.
