Short Bio:

My name is Lucy Day Werts Hobor.  I am called "Lucy Day".  That's because I have one of those funky southern double-first names, like Mary Catherine.  My maiden name is Werts, but now I'm Mrs. Hobor.

I was born in April 1981 and grew up in Atlanta, GA where my parents still live.  I have a brother named Charlie who is 8 years younger than I am.  I went to grades K-6 at a school called The Children's School.  I went to Woodward Academy for grades 7-12. 

In 1999 I left Atlanta to attend the University of Chicago.  During orientation, I met my husband Aquinas, who lived in my dorm and was in one of my classes.  We became fast friends.  We stayed together throughout college and got engaged in the spring of our senior year.  We both graduated in 2003 with two degrees: I earned a BA in Linguistics and a BS in Computer Science, and Aquinas earned degrees in Computer Science and Math.

We moved to Princeton, NJ in Fall 2003 because Aquinas had been accepted to the PhD program in computer science at Princeton University.  I started looking for a job in publishing in NY/NJ.

I babysat while job hunting from September to December.  Starting in January 2004 I worked for Educational Testing Service as a temp.  My boss's recommendation at the end of the project, in March, got me my permanent job working for Princeton University Press.

On September 4, 2004, my husband and I were married in Atlanta, GA, in the garden at the Houston Mill House.  We spent a week in Portugal afterwards.

Now we're back.
