Mary Mager began writing after careers in nursing and as a business owner. Her favorite job, though, was mother to her three children. Now the grandmother of seven, she loves to tell stories to the grandchildren, knowing they will give her an honest opinion. Mary is also a singer-songwriter. "On Grandma's Lap" is a collection of original lullabies and bedtime songs, also inspired by the children in her life. A lifelong Nevadan, Mary lives with her husband, George, in the wilds north of Sparks, Nevada, in a house they built themselves. It has a wind turbine, great views of the desert, and a lots of places to sit with a child on her lap.
