Mermer Blakeslee is a writer, skier, teacher, and gardener. Her second novel, In Dark Water, was selected by Barnes and Noble for its Discover Great New Writers series. Leenie, an excerpt from her latest novel When You Live by a River, won the 2006 Narrative Prize from Narrative Magazine. Mermer was awarded three New York Foundation for the Arts Fiction Fellowships. Her roots are in poetry and two of her poems were finalists in Narrative’s First and Second Annual Poetry Contests. Mermer's non-fiction book, A Conversation with Fear (formerly In the Yikes! Zone), emerged from her work with fearful students over the last twenty-five years. She was dubbed “the ski industry’s fear specialist” by the late Stu Campbell. She is a former member of the National Demonstration Team for the Professional Ski Instructors of America, an elite team which spearheads the development of ski teaching in America and represents American skiing interna­tionally. (She was one of the few women and the only mother to do so.) She was born, raised and still lives in the Catskill Mountains with her husband, her horses, dog and cat, and her garden, which has been published in Garden Design magazine. She is thrilled to be a grandma.
