Nina Boug Lichtenstein

Born and raised in Oslo, Norway, Nina B. Lichtenstein has lived in Connecticut for the past 30 years. She holds a Ph.D. in French and teaches English and writing at the University of Connecticut. Go figure. She is also a freelance writer, blogger and mother of three mostly adult sons. She dreams of heading to Maine once all her boys fly the nest. Some of her writing can be found at www.thevikingjewess.com, and she just launched a second cooperative blog project called That's Funny You Don't Look Jewish. She is at work, among other things, on a memoir tentatively titled Tribal Matters: Diaries of a Viking Jewess.
