Retired educator and artist, Dr. Elaine Wolfe, had on her bucket list the desire to write a novel. Her preliminary notes for The Spanish Beauty began five years ago on one of her visits to see her daughter who lives in Mallorca, Spain; but the writing was accomplished during the quarantine for the Covid-19 pandemic. Dr. Wolfe combines her story-telling abilities developed during 36 years of teaching biology, with her lifetime experiences as a professional artist, and her love of Spanish culture. Dr. Wolfe has traveled to every continent except Antarctica, has been recognized nationally for her teaching abilities, and has been recognized as an award-winning professional artist. She has been, for forty years, and continues to be an artist-owner of the CCA Art Gallery in Carmel, IN. Dr. Wolfe is a published author of her 400-page dissertation, science articles in The American Biology Teacher and The Hoosier Science Teacher, and poems in The National Library of Poetry's Best Poems of 1998 and Whispers at Dusk. She is a Distinguished Purdue University Alumna in the School of Science.
