  <about><![CDATA[My name is pronounced &quot;Metty&quot; like my mother's &quot;Betty.&quot; It is Danish, and we were all named after ancestors. I guess by the time they got to number nine (out of eleven), it was getting tricky. So I got the funny Danish name no one knew how to prounounce. In Denmark, it should be &quot;meta&quot; like &quot;metaphysical.&quot; It's from the Greek for &quot;pearl.&quot; And no, it's not short for anything. Not even Mediterannean.

My first book, THE MONSTER IN ME  was accepted for publication in 1999 and was published in 2002. My second book,  MIRA, MIRROR  was published in 2004. The latest book,  THE PRINCESS AND THE HOUND , was published in 2007. A sequel, THE PRINCESS AND THE BEAR, will be out in April of 2009. A last book in the trilogy, still untitled is still being written. 

I now live in Utah with my husband and 5 children, ages 5 to 14. 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 the kind of books that I love to read. And I love to discover what is going to happen next, just like a reader would. I also do some racing in triathlon.
