About the author

I was born and raised in Central Utah and love the mountains. One of my favorite hikes was to the top of Mount Timpanogos, an 11,750-foot mountain, the second-highest mountain in Utah  When I grew up I found that becoming a published writer is somewhat like climbing a mountain. To get to the top you have to keep putting one foot in front of the other until you finally reach the summit. You should enjoy the waterfalls, wildflowers, and the lakes you find on the way, but if you stop there and forget your goal, you’ll never see the magnificent view that can only be seen from the very top of the mountain.  I love to teach and talk about writing, goal setting, and reading, to both children and adults. And I still love to climb mountains.  For seven years I wrote a weekly newspaper column. While working as a full-time mom of ten children, I managed to also write many articles for newspapers and for both adult and children’s magazines. My first novel, The White Dove was published in 2000 by Houghton Mifflin Company.  Now I am republishing The White Dove as an ebook, audiobook and paperback so that you may join me on Tasha's adventure  Any success I have, I owe to the support and encouragement of my parents, my husband, my wonderful children, and several outstanding teachers.
