Roxanne lives in the mountains of Colorado and enjoys hiking with her family, gazing at stars, and exploring our amazing world through stories. She loves visiting schools to water seeds of literacy (and occasionally remembers to water the plants in her container garden).

1) Roxanne grew up in a historic home, surrounded by farmland and legends. In the late 1800s, her childhood home was visited by members of the James-Younger gang. Today, it is full of stories about hidden passageways, underground tunnels, and false floors.
​2)
She's always had a vivid imagination. As a child, Roxanne couldn't always tell if she was awake or dreaming. After one vivid dream, she attempted to fly. (It didn't work out well.)
3) Roxanne discovered a love for reading the summer she broke her neck in an accident (completely unrelated to the flying incident).  
4) Besides reading and family, Roxanne loves: interior design, gardening, and singing. (And good-quality chocolate. Can't forget the chocolate.)
5) She is afraid of octopuses and falling.
6) Roxanne taught preschool until her kids were born. Today, she and her husband own multiple small businesses.
