Slansky, R. H.: - R.H. Slansky grew up in a family of travelling circus performers. She now works in the myth-making world of film animation and writes fantastical stories at night. She has been writing since the age of four, and lives in the wonderful--but geologically unstable--city of San Francisco. MOSS-HAIRED GIRL is her first published novel. This is all true; or maybe it's not.
