| Introduction | I am a horseman, teacher, writer, gardener, cook, wife, mother of two adult sons, and grandmother. I have had horses since I was twelve years old. I was fortunate to grow up with a mother who read to us every night, and then to have two sons to read to myself. I have taught all the grades from third through junior college, and currently teach on-line for Utah's Electronic High School. I still love children's and young adult literature. I have a BS in Elementary Education and English, and an M.Ed. in Secondary Education. |
