  <about><![CDATA[I am the mother of four grown children, and the grandmother of six.

I have four published books, Through the Rug,(2006), Through the Rug 2: Follow that Dog,(2007),which are magical adventure books for ages 8-12. Stowaway: The San Francisco Adventures of Sara, the Pineapple Cat, was published in September 2008. This book is a children's picture book for ages 4-8. In March, 2009, I published my first nonfiction book, What's It Like, Living Green? Kids Teaching Kids, by the Way They Live.

Awards: I was awarded the 2008 Writer of The Year Award, by the nearly 400 member strong League of Utah Writers. 

What's It Like, Living Green is the winner of the National Indie Excellence Award for 2009, in the 'Green' category.
