Helen A Rosburg lives with her husband James and daughter Ali on a slightly dusty farm in Odessa, FL. Rescued or retired critters there include horses, rabbits, dogs, cats, pigs, and chickens. In the house itself live Cheech and Dash the long-haired Chihuahuas, Peggi the German Shepherd, Cleveland, J.D., and Spook, the cats, Thing 1 and Thing 2, the Love Birds, Rock and Doris, the parakeets, two Blue and Golds, a Scarlet, and a Severe macaw. When not writing books, showing horses, or running her publishing company, Medallion Press, she might be found at her home in Brisbane, Australia visiting eldest son Erik and his growing family. Son Will, the surfer, is . . . well . . . wherever the surf's up.
