Bev Prescott's road to the place she calls home has been long and winding. Born in the mountains of the west, raised in the heartland, and educated in the south, she’s been a sergeant in the United States Air Force, a scientist, and an environmental attorney. She’s traveled to the Arctic and Antarctica, and host of places in between. But home is writing stories at the edge of a meadow in Maine, where she shares her life with a clever calico cat named Lil, a couple of honeybee colonies, and her spouse of 27 years.
