title: Life Without Fiction: Collected Stories
author: Dana Furgerson
description: Dana was born in Chicago, Illinois, and was raised in Lombard, a suburb. She currently lives in Eugene, Oregon, with her cat Daisy, her dog Hank, and her four chickens. She has lived in various places throughout the state in both rural and urban settings. Her son, Keith, teaches art, and her daughter-in-law, Alissa, is a cartographer. She has two granddaughters, Dahlia and Hazel. She taught special education for over thirty years. For the most part, her students were at risk high school age youth, mostly boys, whose troubled lives inspired two novels. She has also written three novels and a collection of short stories about relationships and other contemporary issues. Dana trail-runs at least five times a week. In the winter she cross country skis, and in the summer she backpacks the wilderness of the Cascades. She's an avid gardener. Her other artistic outlets are drawing and wood carving.
