Dot Dittman is an avid reader. She
often reads two or three books at the
same time.It can get confusing
sometimes. Dot has
been married for 42 years (all to the
same unfortunate man) and is mother to
10 children and grandmother to 25
grandchildren. Her
activities (besides reading books)are
flower gardening (even if her
grandchildren pick all her flowers),
cooking for large get-togethers, and
planning to run away from home. She
received an associate's degree in
English at North Idaho College in 2012
at the ripe age of 59 and she still
hasn't figured out what she wants to be
when she grows up (if she decides to
grow up, that is). Dot aspires to be a
published writer and so far has had one
short story published in The Trestle
Creek Review. She is currently working
on her first novel.
