About The Author



My love affair with books is ongoing. Books are magic. Open that first crisp page...it's an invitation to step into your own personal time machine, to the past, or the future, or be jettisoned into an ensorcelled realm where every magic creature you have ever dreamed about lives and breathes (fire, quite possibly.) With books, the options are as limitless as the writer's imaginations.
S.M. Brandsma is an award winning author and artist. She grew up in the lush Willamette Valley of Oregon and lives there still with her three Appaloosa horses, Spice, Chick, and Keeta.
