Rhonda Ringler Cutler's 26 year banking career was challenging and often fun, plus took her to every continent, except Antarctica. Between that and raising her three sons, it left little time for her true passion--fiction writing. So one day, after much agonizing, she announced to her incredulous staff and boss that she was quitting to pursue a Masters of Fine Arts in Creative Writing. After obtaining her degree, she spent years wandering through a creative wilderness filled with false starts and dead ends. But tempted as she was to return to the safety of banking (not to mention the fat paychecks), she persevered and THE END OF BLISS, her debut novel, is the result.In addition to her MFA from Goddard College, Rhonda has an MBA from Columbia University Graduate School of Business and BA from Barnard College. Rhonda and her husband, Anthony, divide their time between Newton, MA and Sydney Australia. When Rhonda is not writing, consulting on a pro bono basis to small businesses, or visiting her sons--currently living on three continents, she enjoys working out, knitting, cooking, and reading.
