Margaret Goss is a writer, hockey mom and registered nurse. She has a B.S. in Nursing from Arizona State University and an M.A. in Public Policy and Administration from the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Though Margaret has spent many years working on and off as a nurse, her true calling has always been writing. Her parents, first-generation Italian-Americans, inspired Margaret’s early appreciation for the arts. Her father, an English and Journalism teacher, as well as a musician, and her mother, an art teacher and painter, passed on a creative gene that their post-Depression-era pragmatism could not stifle. She currently resides in Madison, Wisconsin with her husband, three children and her border collie-terrier.
