Tanya Egan Gibson's debut novel, HOW TO BUY A LOVE OF READING, was published by Dutton in May 2009. An alum of Squaw Valley Community of Writers, she is mother to a four-year-old who produces countless construction-paper "books" that she insists Mommy "get published" and an infant whose favorite teether is currently one of the HTBALOR galleys, and wife to the most patient man in the universe.
