was motivated to write the Imagination Station series books because her twin boys craved facts, adventure, and fun in their reading and there weren't very many Christian books written for early elementary children. As former editor of Focus on the Family's Clubhouse magazine, she had learned a few things about entertaining children. She has authored or coauthored more than fifty children's books. She is currently a freelance writer in Colorado Springs, where she babysits two cats, a dog, and tries not to eat too much chocolate.
