Phyllis Wheeler set a goal at age 13 to write a children's book, a journey with lots of detours that took many years. She's written for daily newspapers, worked on airplanes as a mechanical engineer, and raised four children, doing some homeschooling along the way. Now she's writing award-winning, family-friendly tales for kids and teens, especially homeschoolers. Get a free short story at her website, PhyllisWheeler.com
