Michelle Arnold resides in Minnesota with her husband and three children. The simple idea to create a story for her children grew into an undeniable passion for words. The seasons came and went and came again as Mathew’s adventure unfolded. Much of the story was written longhand - some of it while curled in a blanket on a winter’s night after the kids were asleep, some of it in the heat of the summer sun while the kids played in the backyard, and some of it was written literally on the move. Oh, what the neighbors must think!
