She has spent many years in social services as social worker, crisis worker, counselor and case manager. She raised her two girls, worked her way through college and graduate school working for a housekeeping service. ML married early to start a new life and divorced by the time she was 23. The horse used in the second book is her own Quarter Horse show Stallion 'The Great White Hope'.

When she was on the back of a horse she felt that anything in life was possible.

She worked cleaning stalls and doing work in trade for riding lessons. Horses were a huge part of her life and she learned to ride at age 6 on the neighbor's farm. She grew up loving the escape of books, far away places and magical endings. ML was adopted and raised in Washington State.
