B.D.'s background is in music education.  While she has always enjoyed writing, being a music teacher taught her about writing a lot in a short time.  (She had to put a sentence long comment on 750 report cards 3 terms per year.)

The story writing bug really bit her when she had a son of her own.  Between volunteering in the school library and reading children's stories at night, she started to develop a desire to have a story that was all her own.  She wanted a story that she could share with her son.
