Christine M. B. Smith, most frequently referred to as "Moooommmyy!", spends most of her day managing a very active household filled with children Joshua, Teresa, and Rachel, as well as their canine companions Max and Lucy. She is blessed to share this busy life with her wonderful husband, Kendall, whose delicious cooking she is always grateful for and with whom she occasionally gets the chance to watch a movie.

From scholarship essays to government policy manuals, Christine has spent much of her life writing, but The Adventures of Lucy the Cow-Dog series represents her first foray into children's literature. Prior to becoming a mother and an author, Christine worked as an environmental manager trying to improve air quality by helping vehicle fleets use cleaner technologies. Her hobbies include researching her family history, hiking, attempting to garden, and studying theology.
