With her children grown, Therese Johannson continues to work within her local school district on a part time basis. In her spare time, she pursues her passion of writing poetry and has ventured into the genre of children's books. Married for more than twenty years, she loves spending time with her husband, John, and their little, white poodle, Ivy. Her quiet country life is enjoyed by baking, planting flowers, being active in her church, and chatting with loved ones on the internet.
