Growing up in a family with six brothers had it's challenges.  I would not trade one day of my childhood because it has made me who I am today.  I am not perfect, but I am happy with my life and my future.  I give God, my Heavenly Father, all the credit for my accomplishments.  He has been with me every step of the way. I have followed the typical path of marriage, three children, grandchildren, two cats, three dogs and so on.  We live on a small hobby farm and help our daughter raise her alpacas.  Shearing the animals and learning to process the fiber has taken some of my time away from writing but I have many stories to share with children and look forward to writing and illustrating more books in the future. I have always wanted to be a writer of children's books.  I only wish I had made the decision years ago to follow that dream and if I don't sell but one book, I will be forever grateful to the one person who thought it worth their time and effort.   

My greatest achievements are first, my husband and children, and second, three published books for which there may not be any awards but I am having fun being an author.
