ABOUT THE AUTHOR:
Adrienna and her husband live in San Jose, California, and are the parents of
two grown children. She credits her love of story telling to her grandfather,
who never read a story from a book but who always had a fresh new bedtime story
to tell.
She grew up near the bayous of Louisiana. Magic, Mystery and Message are the key
ingredients she uses to entertain both the young reader and the young of heart.
