Greta was born in sandy Las Vegas, Nevada, and raised in snowy Waukesha, Wisconsin. The youngest of four children, Greta wrote her first book at five. Three Little Duckies earned rave reviews at her pre-school and nearly cinched her mother the coveted Mom-of-the-Year award circa 1993 (#mommywars). But two weeks later Greta's childhood nemesis, Jamie Martin, figured out subtraction and Jamie's mother took the title, a fact Greta has never lived down. (Damn it, Jamie!)
Greta went to college, at the University of Wisconsin- Whitewater where she double-majored in International Business and German. She's lived in both Germany and Japan and travelled throughout the world, from the vast emptiness of the Sahara Desert to the lilac-covered hills of Budapest.
Greta lives with her husband Ed and a cat who may, or may not, control the weather. When she’s not writing or working, Greta can be found restoring her 1860’s farmhouse, knitting, or reading a good book.
