About the Author

Lance Pototschnik grew up in rural Frederick county, Maryland, in a house surrounded by farms. The last of his parents' eight children, he was born with severe allergies and a chronic autoimmune disorder, which often confined him to the house, where he busied himself by drawing and painting. As a sick child born at the back of a large family, life positioned Pototschnik as an observer, and he learned to capitalize on that station through writing. His first book, The Shell of a Person, established him as a master of achieving poignancy through a mixture of humor and anguish.
