Mary grew up under the big western skies roping and riding all over the west. As a kid she didn't realize the impact it was having on her and how her strong western roots would help her face the many challenges life always presents. As an Army wife and mother of four she has always used her cowgirl courage to make the best life possible. She was raised by parents who knew many fascinating Wild West characters and were incredible storytellers. This gave Mary a passion for sharing stories. She writes the Rusty's Remuda Children's Book series in rhyme; each one with a life lesson. "Rhyming is so much more fun to read for parents and kids and is essential to learning language and sounds". According to Mary's family if she can get your attention long enough she will tell you a story!
