| After
growing up in Maine I eventually ended up in Iowa where my husband Rich
was for many years, a professor at Cornell College. We raised our daughter and son in our
house near the campus. I write in the office on the first floor where I
can look out onto the porch and watch the comings and goings in the
front yard and on the street leading to main street. After living for a time in California, our daugher Sarah now lives in Wisconsin with her husband Reed and their children, Owen and Evelyn. Our son Justin has returned from his work in Honduras and has settled in Boston where he lives with his wife. Sarah and Justin have always loved books and stories. In fact, Justin and Sarah are really responsible for my deciding to write children's books. We had such a good time reading when they were young I thought I would like to write books that children and adults could share. I bought a tablet and a new pen and began to write. Since that time I have worked at writing nearly every day, except holidays or traveling days. In 1999, Mary Azarian who illustrated my book Snowflake Bentley won the Caldecott Award for those illustrations. If you'd like to know about Snowflake Bentley or any of my other books you may wish to go to my "Books" page.
