Bio in Marysue�s own words�

Hi, I�m Marysue G Hobika, and yes I like the G because it says a lot about who I am and where I come from.

I�m from a small rural town called Caledonia, which is about 20 miles outside of Rochester, NY. Nothing can really compare to growing up in a small town where you know everyone and everyone knows you. My high school graduating class had only 96 students, so it is safe to say that I knew them all.

Many of my ideas come from my childhood and having lived in this tight knit community. It was a safe place to grow up and I remember riding my bike all over town with my friends and my cousin, stopping at the AM/PM minimarket to buy candy or big 32oz sodas. During the winter we played out in the snow and even tooled around on my friend�s snowmobile until I kept making us crash because I wasn�t leaning the right way. It was a happy childhood and one I wouldn�t change for anything.

Before heading off to college, I decided to spend a year as a Rotary exchange student. I was curious about what it would be like to live in a foreign country and truly be assimilated into their language and culture. I had taken Spanish in high school and it had immediately clicked, so Spain was a logical choice for my study abroad. I spent a year in the Canary Islands and my passion for the foreign language blossomed. A quote I once heard was, �To speak two languages is to have two souls.� And that is exactly how I feel. Who knows when I might decide to weave details from my experience into a book?

When it was time to go to college I was ready for a big school setting with little anonymity, but I didn�t want to be too far from home. I chose to attend college at SUNY at Buffalo to study to become a Spanish teacher.

I was a Spanish middle school teacher until I decided to stay home and raise a family of my own. Currently I live in Pittsford, NY with my husband, three children and a pug. My house is a busy place with kids coming and going. They all offer inspiration for my books.
