Right now, Garden Bug Books is run by bug mama Carol Jean Baxter.

When I was a child, I pursued butterflies across the lawn. I touched roly-poly bugs because I found it fascinating to watch them curl into balls. Growing up as an only child, I preferred to run races instead of playing team sports. I am also fond of alliteration, so what could be more fun to write about than a Roly Poly Rally at Red Potato Farm? Using my imagination to write “Oblee Olie Olee’s Roly Poly Rally Race”!

I love to splash in the sea and scratch baby rhinos behind their ears. I am lucky to live in a mountain chalet with dragons, bunnies, and my Ray of Sunshine.

I am a wife, a mother, a grandmother, an award-winning features reporter, a grant writer, and a memoirist. You can find out more about me at TalesofaLifetime.net.
