Current Residence: Orem, UT, USA This informations was submitted by the author July 26, 2003. I live in Utah with my husband and 5 children, ages 3 to 12. I come from a family of 11, so my family seems much more manageable to me. I write during nap time, or at 4 in the morning, or while the broccoli for dinner is burning. Whenever I get a chance. I love to write because I love to read. When I was a child, I often held a book in my hands and read while walking to school or during recess. I love to teach writing, also. I taught at a university for many years before I could spend more time writing, but I still like to go to schools and help young writers discover the joy of creating their own world.

I have an over vivid imagination that I've finally found a use for, other than scaring my children into shivers at night.
