Judith Arcana

Born: 1943 in Cleveland, Ohio
Pen Name: None

Connection to Illinois: Arcana lived in Illinois nearly forty years, mostly in Chicago (also in Champaign and Skokie). She has strong memories of the northwestern part of the state (especially the Mississippi Palisades and Pecatonica) and of pre-interstate highway travel, heading north to Wisconsin on Route 41. Her father was born and raised in Chicago and downstate, in the tri-state region by the river; her son, born in the same Chicago hospital as his grandfather, was also raised there. All of Judith's graduations were in Illinois: 8th grade from Sharp Corner School, high school from Niles Township HS-East (the original beautiful building), BA from Northwestern University, MA from Goddard College's Chicago outpost, Phd from Loyola University of Chicago (she also attended the University of Illinois and Depaul).
