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.
