Photo of author Kayann Short. She is standing outdoors, green trees in the distance behind her. She has long, straight brown hair, and wears large silver hoop earrings and a white dress button-up blouse--the sleeves are rolled up to 3/4 length. Her hands are crossed in front of her chest as she holds onto a small hardcover book with a green cover, called "Up in Maine."
