Growing up as a farmer’s daughter in the Midwest, provided her with a wealth of experiences to draw upon. But it was her four year old grandson who introduced her to his wonderful world of pirates. She captures this fascination of pirates that all little boys and many little girls have in, Pirate Boy, a highly imaginative adventure story with a twist. Talley resides in Woodinville, Washington.
