Margaret Cross was born in Homestead, Florida, and has lived in the area all of her life, except for her travels to the seven continents. Margaret spent most of her career programming mainframe computers. Before retiring from the rigid rules of coding, she dreamed of writing stories and poems. The idea for "Dory Dillo" swirled off and on in her brain for twenty years. Now, at long last, Margaret is a published author. The seven continents still call, so Margaret will continue to travel and write until she gets "too old".
