Gail Lehrman

Gail is an expatriate New Yorker relocated to the Pacific Northwest. Though she abandoned the canyons of Manhattan for the mountains of Oregon, Gail never lost her fascination with her native city and its melting pot history. When life finally gave her time and space to focus on her writing, she found that New York's voices still sang in her ear. Those voices are the force behind her debut novel, Across Seward Park.

 

Gail holds a B.A. and M.A in English Literature and an MFA in Creative Writing from Columbia University. Now a frequent hiker in the lovely Columbia River Gorge, Gail's also an enthusiastic participant in the rich literary community of Portland, Oregon.
