About the Author

I came from a medium sized family that grew up in a small city in Minnesota. My interest in writing had started very young. When I was 6, I started writing stories and illustrating them. I have been hooked ever since! I now am married and have mothered several children that are precious bright lights of love and hope in our lives. I’ve always gone on walks in whatever neighborhood I have lived in, whether it was with my younger sister and I as teens venting about our day or her accompanying me and my first born in effort to aid losing my baby weight. The habit has now become a favorite activity that I’ve done and still do with all my children as well as with my husband too. It started to become a time we’d not only walk, but where I’d try out story ideas with them, or make one up as we’d walk. Our children also take turns and have a go at it too. This is one of those stories that I had created in part, on one of our several walks. I really enjoyed working on this tale and hope you enjoy reading it!
