She was born in Georgia but consider Moses Lake, Washington her hometown. Sowards came to Utah to attend school (BYU) and ended up staying. Books have always been an important part of her life. She remembers writing self-illustrated storybooks at her grandparent's house when she was in elementary school (none of those made it to publication for many good reasons) and attending her first writer's conference when she was in third grade.
Now Sowards is a busy mom with young children. She still loves to read and write. She is usually reading a couple books at once and working on multiple writing projects too. Other than that, Sowards' life is pretty ordinary. She grateful for that. She'll let the characters in her books have all the adventures.

I was born in Atlanta, Georgia and grew up in Moses Lake, Washington. Then I came to Utah to attend school and ended up staying. Books have always been an important part of my life. I remember writing self-illustrated storybooks at my grandparent’s house when I was in elementary school (none of those made it to publication for many good reasons) and attending my first writer’s conference when I was in third grade.
Another big part of my early life was swimming. I swam for the Big Bend Manta Rays, the Moses Lake Manta Rays, Moses Lake High School, and Brigham Young University. In addition to swimming, I studied Political Science and English at BYU.
Now I’m a busy mom of twin toddlers. I still love to read and I also love to write. I’m usually reading a couple books at once and working on multiple writing projects too. Other than that, my life is pretty ordinary. I’m grateful for that. I’ll let the characters in my books have all the adventures.
