As a child I filled my journals with someday-my-prince-will-come fantasies. Then one day my prince arrived, driving a silver Tundra, and we adopted a brilliant daughter. Life got busy--work, family, daily cooking, birthday parties, countless games of gin--but in the evenings, I still find time to give voice to the stories inside my head. A special thanks to my family, who listen patiently (and endlessly) to my on-going obsession with the Yellowstone caldera.
