Short Bio:
Born in Philadelphia Pennsylvania, Marita Krivda Poxon acquired her love of writing when she realized she had some talent. She won an essay contest at age 12 and her teachers were astonished since she was so quiet with her nose in a book mostly. Immersed in literature which she read from the Classics at her local public library, she went onto study English and Irish literature at Temple University and abroad in both England and Ireland. She also took a degree in librarianship so she could always, around the clock be surrounded by books. Now that she is retired, she has collected a significant number of bookcases loaded with books that fill her 1888 Victorian family home in East Oak Lane, Philadelphia. She lives with her husband Michael Poxon with four cats and their terribly spoiled Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, Trevor.
