Read an interview with Keith McGowan

 

KEITH MCGOWAN has worked most of his life as an educator. He helped run an elementary afterschool program and daycamp, taught mathematics and science, volunteered for a year as a teacher in Haiti, developed curricula for a non-profit that helps students go to college, and tutored students who were unable to attend school full-time.

An avid traveler, he began writing The Witch’s Guide to Cooking with Children in Amritsar and Himachal Pradesh, India, staring at the Himalayan mountains, and continued working on it in Boston, New Orleans, Chicago, and Vienna, Austria, where he now lives with his wife.

Keith is the youngest of three brothers and grew up reading everything and anything, from Black Beauty to The Cricket in Times Square to M.C. Higgins, The Great to The Hobbit. The Witch’s Guide to Cooking with Children is his first novel for young readers.
