About Stacy Horn
Stacy Horn is the author of five nonfiction books including Imperfect Harmony. Mary Roach has hailed her for combining awe-fueled curiosity with topflight reporting skills while others have described her work as immaculately researched and several notched above the typical reporter's insights. Horns commentaries have been heard on NPRs All Things Considered and she is the founder of the social network Echo. She lives in New York City and when she's not researching and writing she's singing soprano 2 (the best part) with the Choral Society of Grace Church or helping care for animals at the ASPCA Animal Hospital where she is frequently forced to chant quietly to herself No Stacy you may not take that puppy (or kitten) home.
