Zane Kotker wrote her first novel in her – very sparse – spare time as a new mother of her two children. This novel, and her two subsequent novels, were published by Knopf. When her husband was stricken with multiple sclerosis, she turned to non-fiction but made her way back to fiction in 1990, writing two more novels and a novella. Kotker’s stories have appeared in Alaska Quarterly Review, the Antioch Review, and more. She has earned a fiction grant from the National Endowment for the Arts, a MacDowell Fellowship, and a Must Read 2012 from the Massachusetts Center for the Book. She currently lives in Northampton, MA.
