Claremary Sweeney is a writer/photographer living in South Kingstown, Rhode Island. She spent her earlier years in the field of education and now, retired, uses her imagination to create stories that can be enjoyed by children of all ages and the young at heart. Within A Berkshire Tale, are the original ten ZuZu Stories about the adventures of a kitten born on a farm in the Berkshire Hills. The book is filled with the settings that make this area an historic as well as a cultural center in western Massachusetts. She continues to write other tales in this series and is currently working on a Christmas adventure set in Stockbridge during the annual Norman Rockwell Weekend held during the first week of December each year. Last Train to Kingston is the first in a series of adult mysteries using Rhode Island historical sites. Last Rose on the Vine is the next book in this series and is set at the University of Rhode Island. It will be out in the spring of 2018. The author lives with her husband Charley and their two cats ZuZu and Roxie. Roxie hopes, some day, to have a book of her own, but for now spends time complaining about being "Roxie Dammit, aka The Other Cat" in featured posts on Ms. Sweeney’s blog, Around ZuZu’s Barn, Conversations With Kindred Spirits at aroundzuzusbarn.com
