I am a graduate of Oregon State University and a lifelong equestrian. I am also a former teacher at the secondary school level. My husband, Tom, and I have five wonderful children, twelve incredible grandchildren, and live in Colorado with our two horses and a standard poodle.

I have always loved writing and using my imagination to create stories and characters. For seventeen years, I coached Odyssey of the Mind and Destination Imagination teams for my kids. It was so fun helping them learn to write one-act plays.

Because of my love for horses, this magnificent animal is the subject of most of my books…from the non-fiction equestrian trail guide books titled “Riding Colorado”, “Riding Colorado II”, and “Riding Colorado III” to my fantasy stories and novels.

I have known and loved many noble and great horses in my life, so I also decided to start a blog about them. You can learn about famous and loved horses at www.themisttrilogy.blogspot.com. I love riding on trails in the beautiful Colorado mountains and competing in Dressage. So, if I am not sitting at my computer writing a new story, you can find me sitting in a saddle!
