At the age of five, Eileen exclaimed to her mother that she wanted to grow up and write books and stories for children. That wish has come to pass. Eileen is a mother and grandmother and loves to share her stories. Her first work was the result of a continuing bedtime story for her own children: "Gwendolyn, the Emerald Fairy". With their encouragement, she eventually wrote and published that book and others as well. Eileen lives with her family in New Mexico.view less
