About Peg Connelly

After retiring from the US Postal Service I began my life long dream of writing books for children. With 4 children, 9 grandchildren and 9 great-grandchildren I've had plenty of material to convert into books and stories. I have four books out now, Grannies' Shorts and Grannies' Critters, both collections of short stories.  My middle grade novel, My Quirky, Oddball, Eccentric, Unpredictable Grandma is now out, and my new children's novel, If The Forest Is Silent, Beware! came out two weeks ago.   I am a member of the Writers of Kern, the California Writers Club and the Society of Childrens Book Writers and Illustrators.
