Ruthanne Lyons from an early age always had a wild imagination and loved to tell stories. Born and raised in the small town of Danvers, Massachusetts, just 20 miles north of Boston, some of her memories, phrases and accents are often clearly detected in the stories. The farms, small airport, river swimming, the small school house, playing with marbles, bike riding, fort building in the snow, and Sunday with the family, live inside you forever. Best friends, the good old days and these memories make stories that bring you heart to heart with the author. You will find her writing surprisingly entertaining!
