Meet the Author: Elaine Allen

Every weekday we'll introduce you to a local author that will be featured in the Annual Book Lovers Auction November 12. Today's author is Elaine Allen.

FROM THE CRCC:

The (CRCC) is holding their 2nd Annual Book Lovers Auction on November 12 in Crofton. MD at the Banquet Room from 4-7 pm. This is to raise funds for a community center in Crofton, MD.  

Elaine Ann Allen grew up on the Eastern Shore of Maryland along with a large loving family and many pets. With a background in environmental studies, Elaine has published two children's books about oysters including, Olly the Oyster Cleans the Bay and Olly's Treasure. Elaine became inspired to write about oysters when she learned that sea animals actively clean the sand and water and play a valuable role in the environment. Her next book, Mallory the Forgetful Duck, is about waterfowl on the bay and is scheduled for release in the spring of 2012. All of Elaine's books capture her passion for sea animals as well as her love of educating children about nature. You can find out more about Elaine and her books at www.OllytheOyster.com .
