Grandma taught me how to read before I entered first grade. I’d practice on my younger cousin, going around those words I didn’t know, perhaps changing the story altogether, my cousin never the wiser.

By third grade, I was working in the school library, devouring Laura Ingalls Wilder’s books, checking out whatever copy of the popular series happened to be available, then reading and re-reading. I loved everything about her books; the illustrations, the songs, the pioneering spirit, Ma and Pa, the sisters. Being a tomboy, I identified with Laura’s feisty nature. I was also a romantic who wanted an Almanzo of my own, and eventually found one. Don Pettit – engineer, scientist, explorer, poet, photographer, fixer of all things big and small.

Like Ms. Wilder, I’m a late-blooming author. A Kiss for Maggie Moore is my debut. It’s a coming-of-age love story between three best friends growing up in a small-town Wyoming neighborhood during the late 1960s, early 1970s. If you are familiar with “The Wonder Years,” this is the wonder years out west.
