← Back to book

Helen Mondloch is a freelance journalist and a high school English teacher with a passion for history and literature.

She has written more than eighty feature stories and investigative reports on a wide variety of historical, literary, and human interest topics. Her articles have appeared in about a dozen publications, including World & I, Northern Virginia Magazine, American Scholar, Odyssey, English Journal, and a McGraw-Hill history text, Annual Editions.

The author was inspired to write An American Breeze while teaching a survey course of American literature. Her aim was to actively engage every student in the class on a meaningful and fun-filled journey through the literary ages.

She also wrote the play for the casual reader—anyone compelled by the march of history, the rich voices of our past, and a yearning to explore what Ralph Waldo Emerson called the “connection of events.”

Mondloch lives in Fairfax, Virginia, with her husband Rick and two sons, Chris and Teddy.
