Meet the Eckhartz Press Author: M.L. Collins

 Now that we have such a big stable of talented authors, we're going to take some time this year to re-introduce them to you. Meet M.L. Collins, our only author to write under a pseudonym (hence the mysterious author photo below). Her book Out the Door was a big hit, and was named the Book of the Year by the Chicago Writers Association.

M. L. Collins

Author-2-3

M.L. Collins has been in love with Door County ever since spending summers in Juddville with her grandparents who moved there in the 1930s after retiring from the circus.

M.L. has worked as a free-lance writer and lectured extensively on the history of sex, fashion and culture at various institutions in Chicago including the School of the Art Institute, the University of Chicago Graham School and most recently, Columbia College.

She divides her time between the big city of Chicago and a small town on the Door Peninsula in Wisconsin where she recently fell for a sailor named Smee.
