About this author

My first series of books for middle-grade and young adult readers, about a boy growing up as a Mormon in the south, has been honored twice by the Association for Mormon Letters. I am the Assistant Regional Advisor for the Midsouth region of the Society of Children’s Book Writers and Illustrators. My essays have aired on public radio and have appeared in Writer’s Digest, The Writer, and The Writer’s Handbook. My work as a newspaper columnist and staff writer has earned awards from the Kentucky Press Association. My husband and I have two daughters, a son, and a cat. All have left the nest but the cat; he refuses to move out and get his own place.

C.S. Lewis
“No book is really worth reading at the age of ten which is not equally – and often far more – worth reading at the age of fifty and beyond.”
C.S. Lewis

J.R.R. Tolkien
“Three Rings for the Elven-kings under the sky,
Seven for the Dwarf-lords in halls of stone,
Nine for Mortal Men, doomed to die,
One for the Dark Lord on his dark throne
In the Land of Mordor where the Shadows lie.
One Ring to rule them all, One Ring to find them,
One Ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them.
In the Land of Mordor where the Shadows lie.”
J.R.R. Tolkien, The Lord of the Rings

J.R.R. Tolkien
“All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.

From the ashes a fire shall be woken,
A light from the shadows shall spring;
Renewed shall be blade that was broken,
The crownless again shall be king.”
J.R.R. Tolkien, The Fellowship of the Ring

J.R.R. Tolkien
“I wish it need not have happened in my time," said Frodo.
"So do I," said Gandalf, "and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.”
J.R.R. Tolkien, The Fellowship of the Ring

J.R.R. Tolkien
“But I have been too deeply hurt, Sam. I tried to save the Shire, and it has been saved, but not for me. It must often be so, Sam, when things are in danger: some one has to give them up, lose them, so that others may keep them.”
J.R.R. Tolkien, The Return of the King

Patricia In case you're wondering about the ratings I've given the books on my shelves -- they're all 5 star ratings because I've only posted my favorites. At this point I am only posting books I would highly recommend to my friends.
