Author’s Bio:  
I’m Mary Emma Allen, a children’s author, cooking and travel columnist,  
quiltmaker and quilt book author, family/inspirational writer, and writing teacher/speaker.  
I’ve always been eager to try new ventures in writing; as a result I’ve enjoyed working at  
many types of writing and my books reveal this diversity. They include WHEN WE  
BECOME THE PARENT TO OUR PARENTS (ISBN: 0-9651675-1-8), which  
chronicles my mothers journey through Alzheimer’s, TALES OF ADVENTURE &  
DISCOVERY(ISBN: 0-9651675-0-X), a collection of children’s stories I’ve also  
illustrated, THE MAGIC OF PATCHWORK, WRITING IN MAINE, NEW  
HAMPSHIRE & VERMONT, and several manuals for writers. My most recent work  
was a coloring book to accompany the children’s anthology. Currently I’m working on  
writing activity books for children and a YA novel inspired by my ancestors’ experiences  
during the U. S. Civil War era. Visit my web site:
