About Dorothy
Dorothy Hearst is the author of The Wolf Chronicles trilogy, which tells the story of how the wolf evolved into the dog from the point of view of a young wolf. She is co-author with Pam Berkman of the At the Heels of History chapter book series, which shares important historical events through the eyes, ears, and noses of the dogs who were there. She worked in publishing for over 20 years as an acquiring editor, marketing professional, and book doctor. She is an editor, martial artist, hiker, and would really like to pet your dog.
School Visits
Pam Berkman and I would love to arrange a visit to your elementary school classroom for activities and a discussion about our books in the At the Heels of History series. We can visit virtually, or in person if you are in the San Francisco Bay Area.
I am also available for virtual and in-person middle school and high school visits for The Wolf Chronicles to talk about writing, wolves, and our relationship to nature.

Praise for Dorothy's Work
AT THE HEELS OF HISTORY
“With spot-on pacing and levity...this first in a new series is fun and accessible for readers who aren’t quite ready for Alison Hart’s 'Dog Chronicles.'”
—School Library Journal
THE WOLF CHRONICLES
“Hearst excels at creating an atmospheric and richly imagined story, meticulously detailing wolf-human relations as told from the wolves’ perspective.”
—Booklist
“A crackling foray into a dangerous past. . . The relationships between the human characters and wolf characters are keenly felt and the conflicts sharply imagined. Hearst’s keen interpretations of wolf behavior, senses and sensibilities will enchant paranormal fans and animal lovers alike.”
—Publishers Weekly
“The story of Kaala and her pack takes readers on a journey into a rich and fascinating world. A remarkable look into the mind of another kind of being.”
—Temple Grandin, Author of Animals in Translation
