Juanita Brown Tobin lives in Blowing Rock, North Carolina. Irene Cosmo, editor of Pangloss Papers, says, Tobin is "a square-rigged sailing ship that goes right into the wind. Honest as a two-by-four over the head, she has worked at Dorothea Dix mental hospital, which left her with few illusions. That does not mean she is without beliefs. In herself, her writing, in God, and in someone called Simon with a love that passes all understanding." Tobin writes a weekly column for The Blowing Rocket, Blowing Rock's newspaper.
