Growing up on a Mennonite produce farm, I created brothers Terry, Gary, and Larry, to help pass the time doing chores. I told stories about the three boys to my brother as we weeded strawberries, thinned carrots, or washed fresh eggs. Now I chase after my young daughter, walks the streets of Elkhart, Indiana, and seek to join God's work with my husband Marnell and local Anabaptist church. Besides the middle grade adventure series currently in progress (set in Indiana in the 1980s), I have also written numerous Christian nonfiction and historical fiction books, most recently Kidnapped in Haiti.
