Although she had been selling short stories and magazine articles since the 1960s, her first book was not published until she was 74 years old. She has now published eight books and been included in three anthologies. Her books have twice been on the New York Public Library’s list of Best Books for the Teenage and have won various awards. She enjoys making author visits to schools to spread her love of reading and books. In the 1960’s, she learned of a little-known pocket of wild country in the heart of a California city, and came to know the horses that lived there.view less
