I cannot remember ever NOT wanting to be a writer.  I fell in love with books
very early, and knew that someday I wanted to write them.  Some of my favorite
books as a child were Snipp, Snapp, and Snurr and the Red Shoes (this one inspired
me to want to be a chimney sweep!), The Steadfast Tin Soldier, Mike Mulligan and
the Steam Shovel, and, later, Harriet the Spy, Little Women, Anne of Green Gables,
and From the Mixed-Up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler.                         

I'm now all grown up, and living my dream!  No, I'm not a chimney sweep, but I am
a writer.  I write my books on a Toshiba laptop computer that sits on an old secretary
(a sort of desk) that once belonged to my husband's grandfather.  I live near the
mountains in Utah with my husband, my five children, a very literary dog named Kipling,
an escape-artist cat named Houdini, and a stuck-up betta fish named Flame. 

Besides writing, I love reading, doing yoga, hiking in the mountains, listening to good
music (especially when it's performed by my children), and playing with bubble wrap.
