The daughter of a fighter pilot-turned-professor and wife of an academic, Sheila Curran has lived in more than a dozen towns and cities throughout the US. She currently lives in Tallahassee, with her husband, two children, and a standard poodle who gets suicidal when she leaves the house. Her first novel, Diana Lively is Falling Down, a comedy-of-manners set in Oxford, England and Phoenix, Arizona, was widely praised for its lively wit. Her second novel, Everyone She Loved, a moving story about the faith one woman places in her dearest friends, the care she takes to protect her family, and the many ways in which romantic entanglements will confound even the most determined of planners, was published in paperback in the spring of 2010. She is currently working on a novel about an activist nun.
