Mary Jane Auch

    Mary Jane Auch, écrivant également sous le pseudonyme MJ Auch, a découvert sa passion pour l'écriture à travers des pièces de marionnettes qu'elle créait avec une amie d'enfance. Sa fascination pour les poules, observée lors de visites chez ses grands-mères, a profondément influencé son œuvre ultérieure, transposant leurs personnalités diverses dans ses récits. Après des études d'art et un bref passage dans la mode, Auch a travaillé comme ergothérapeute dans un hôpital pour enfants, acquérant ainsi de précieuses perspectives. Un tournant décisif s'est produit lors d'une conférence d'écriture, où elle a réalisé son potentiel pour la fiction narrative, gagnant finalement la reconnaissance pour ses livres illustrés mettant en scène de la volaille.
