MEET THE AUTHOR

I am a storyteller, a writer, an author, a triathlete, a fanatic for taking on challenges and hobbies. I am a lifelong learner.

I am also a mother, grandmother, a retired business executive, a volunteer, a teammate and competitor, a friend, and a lover of nature and pets.

​

I have a trunk of things I have written, some of which will be moving out of the trunk. Stay tuned for more children's stories, a memoir focusing on my experiences as a senior triathlete, and more!

MEET THE ILLUSTRATOR

Rex Heer

Rex Heer created the illustrations for Adventure on Gallop Ghosts Islands and Cloudie with a chance of Play. Rex lives in a log cabin he built in the woods in the hills overlooking the Des Moines River Valley. In addition to his artistic endeavors (primarily painting), he is an avid hiker, photographer, and nature lover. Rex based his visual characterization of Friend Gray Fox on the occasional glimpses of a gray fox trotting through his woods.
