Paula M. Bousquet grew up in Sturbridge, Massachusetts. An avid reader who got her library card as soon as she could sign her name to the card request she always borrowed the maximum allowed books per library visit. Although she loved fiction, any topic was interesting to her: biographies, craft books, cook books, history of the area in which she grew up.
Paula has worked as a book seller, herb gardener, fabric store clerk, technical writer, legal secretary, software trainer, business analyst, computer programmer, bookkeeper, editor, tax preparer, and waitress. A technical writer by profession, she considers herself a Dabbler -- delving into various topics until her curiosity has been satisfied. Most recently, her interest in weight loss through improved metabolism and her blog on CurvesComplete.com, earned her the title of Summer Blogger of the Season for "Diane" the Curves for Women (TM) member magazine.
In 1991, writing as Paula B. Hottin, she published her first book, "Mastering MultiMate 4.0," an award-winning how-to for the then-popular word processing software, MultiMate.
