About Me
I come from generations of "oral historians" and I have been telling stories my whole life.
They may or may not be "totally" accurate. I'll let you decide.
They may or may not be "totally" accurate. I'll let you decide.
My favorite things (not in any specific order): my family, yoga, hiking, Calvin & Hobbes, reading, music, adventure, BYU football, mysteries, Hallmark Movies, picture books, ghost tours, history, travel, puzzles, PS4, pickle ball, laser tag, shooting, skiing, swimming, writing, laughing, pedicures, singing, theater, rocks, "Train", all the nerdy stuff.
Born in Provo, Utah, I was precocious even as an infant.
I taught myself to read at a very young age, and calculus. Only one of those is true. That blonde hair! |

I read everything I could get my hands on: Cereal boxes, newspapers, candy wrappers, books with pictures, and books without pictures.
I was writing fan-fiction before it was cool; cool is relative isn't it? I wrote about "Lost in Space", "Wild, Wild, West", "Black Sheep Squadron", and "Hogan's Heroes". When I was a little older, I wrote about "Little House on the Prairie", "Six Million Dollar Man" ("Bionic Woman" too, of course), and even the "Love Boat". If I watched it, I wrote about it.
Some of my favorite authors at this time were Louisa May Alcott, Laura Ingalls Wilder, Frances Hodges Burnett, Edgar Allen Poe, Edgar Rice Burrows, H.G. Wells, Ray Bradbury, Eleanor Estes, Scott O'Dell, Alexander Key, and Ursula K. Le Guin.
When I grew up, although I didn't grow very much, I married a talk, dark handsome stranger. I had children of my own.I was able to share my love of stories; all of my old favorites, and new ones too.
Thirty something years later all of my babies are grown. Now I tell stories to a whole new generation of children.
Each day is a step into the unknown as I learn and grow in my ability to convert the stories in my head to paper. From Neolithic cave drawings to printed words, stories only live because we share.
