About Me (cont.)

Today, I'm still a fanatic reader, but now I tell my own kids to go play outside so that I can have some quiet reading time! And I'm thrilled to be not only a reader, but a writer, too. All the things I wanted to do when I grew up—studying animals, traveling to exotic places, figuring out people's minds, answering all the questions that occur to me, like Where do mountains come from?—are wrapped up into my writing. I love living in Minnesota and writing about anything that catches my interest. I have sold poetry and nonfiction books, as well as some short fiction.

My terrific daughters Annabelle and Maddie give me lots of story ideas, and my husband Randy encourages and supports me every day.
