about this author
I'm the third of nine children born and raised in Salt Lake City Utah. I met my husband in high-school--well, he wasn't my husband then, just the cute guy in weight training with the permed mullet--and we married in 1993. I wrote my first book while on bed rest with my third child and have gone on to publish 6 other novels in the LDS market. I'm fascinated by the Mormon experience and my books are all focused around modern issues as experienced by someone of my same faith. I try hard to keep from preaching, rather I like to show the contrast of choices and influences--temporal and spiritual.
I currently live in Willard, Utah with my husband, four children, nine chickens, and two dogs--a 3 year old Blue Healer and a Golden Retriever puppy...more

"Loved this one as well, still noted the lack of consequence and a few things that felt a bit too convenient, but overall it was enthralling and very well done. Can't wait for the next one.

Josi said:
"As with the first, I loved this one as well. It was scarier than the first, and a little grosser than the first--which my son loved--and still had the lack of consequence I noted in the first one. Still, I read it in two sittings and loved the story.

"Fun story, easy to read, another wonderfully modernized fable type story from Hale. At some parts felt worded too adult, not graphic, just mature writing. I really enjoyed it though.
