Susan D'Aoust is a
novelist, and the mother of Renee D'Aoust. She lives in Clark Fork,
Idaho and is working on a novel about that town and its inhabitants.
A north Idaho native—poet, performance artist and musician—Emily
Baker was born in a little house on Lake Street
in Sandpoint, Idaho twenty six years ago. A six-year stint in Portland,
Oregon helped to inspire her to begin singing and writing once again
as she had as a child. Emily recently returned to Idaho to apprentice
with a local homebirth midwife, an endeavor she enjoys very much.
