About the Author

I was born in a mining camp in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado. I started first grade as a five year old because there were not enough children for kindergarten and first grade. I won a writing contest when I was in seventh grade. I had a passion for writing stories. Now I had my own story to write. My father was a gold miner. We lived in many mining camps. To keep busy, I spent a lot of time at the local library reading and checking out books. My husband and I raised three children, who shared my love for writing. We have many grandchildren and great grandchildren who give me inspiration.
