Lael Littke says, "I grew up on a farm in Mink Creek, Idaho, where I daydreamed as I herded cows about being a writing living in a penthouse in New York City and wearing glamorous leopard-skin pants."

She did become a writer, and after she married George Littke, she did live in New York. But she never lived in a penthouse or wore those leopard-skin pants!

A resident of Pasadena, California, Lael l has written many young adult novels and has travelled the world, most recently to China.

Nancy Anderson’s writing has taken a back seat to raising five "intriguing" children and being grandma to nine active grandchildren. Aside from family, her passion is gardening. Her lovely back yard has been the scene of many special neighborhood and family events.

Nancy says, "Writing Deenie’s story has been a delightful way to share my own experiences and the fictionalized stories of women I have known. Many thanks to my loving husband and supportive family."

Nancy lives in Sandy, Utah, with her husband, Jim, and her dog, Pepper.

Carroll Morris says, "I remember I writing some poems in 4th grade. I gave them to my teacher, and she promptly lost them! The short story I wrote in sixth grade fared better: 'The Horse’s Grave' appeared in the grade-school paper, 'The Puppy Dog’s Tale.'"

After that, Carroll’s fledgling writing career went underground for thirty years, until she wrote her first novel. She’s been writing ever since then—fiction and self-help books because she loves them and catalog copy to help put four children through college.

Carroll and husband Gary, retired three years ago to Green Valley, Arizona.
