I grew up in the countryside with a woods as my back yard, spending every minute climbing trees, walking down animal made paths, wondering what was over the next hill. Exploring became my passion.

It was the beginning of learning about the quiet world around me, watching the chipmunks and squirrels, examining the different bugs that lived in my woods, and the fascination for watching the birds, butterflies, bees, and dragonflies flit here and there without a care in the world. 

They were free, to go wherever they were drawn and I wanted the same thing. To go where they were going. I can fly in my dreams, and that is where my journey into the fairy world began, my journey to Bonners' Fairy.

"I grew up in Maine, where winters were long and cold. What was a girl to do but dive into book after book after book. The Nancy Drew series was a favorite. I loved the stories, the mystery and investigative nature, and the fact that Nancy Drew was doing something not normally done by girls. She was a great inspiration to me.

My passion for great stories grew as I explored the world of radio, public relations, and marketing, while mastering the art of editing and copywriting. I made it my mission to learn every aspect of the storytelling process.

My love of a great story, tenacity, marketing eye, years of experience, and commitment to helping others see their dreams come to fruition brings me to where I am today.

Additionally, when my nose isn't buried in a book, I might spend my free time exploring new places, trying out new recipes in the kitchen, playing golf, going sailing, or pursuing other hobbies and interests that fuel my passion for life and adventure."

It's weird, cause as kids, we are always told how creative we are but we don't put a whole lot of weight on compliments from friends and family. I do not think most artist had intended to be artist on career day. I got my degree in history and had planned on being the next Indiana Jones. History and literature were the only subjects I truly liked in school, mostly, because I love stories. I would often day dream and have an imaginary filing system in my head of which story I would continue to add to that day. I had heroes and villains for every issue in my life. Although, the majority of my stories were fantasy or scifi, they all very much mirrored my life one way or another. Perhaps the hero was confident where I wasn't or stronger than I could be or maybe the villain was evil where at times I wish I could fight without my moral compass. I have spent my whole life with these stories. Well, I didn't become Indiana Jones. Instead I fell in-love right out of high school, finished college with my history degree and made a home with marriage and a family.Still got to travel the world and write up stories but for kids instead of for museums or text books. I wouldn't trade it for the world though, my kids have blessed my life in a way no career ever could.
