Raised in Los Angeles, Treisman left to go live in Berkeley with her first husband where he went to graduate school and she worked in the administration. After they divorced she obtained a real estate license and tried, with much enthusiasm but no great success to sell homes in and around Berkeley. Then, some years later, married again with plans to go to live in her husband’s hometown, she got a certificate in technical writing and worked for a while writing IT user manuals before moving to Barcelona. She now lives in Figueres, near the French border, where she takes walks with her dog, takes photographs of birds, and when the mood strikes, writes a blog. Contact information: dvoratreis05@gmail.com
