About the Author

As a child, our family had some traditions, myths, and games that were unique to us. The "Brownie Elf" myth was one of these. If my sister or I saw a cobweb on the ceiling, we knew it was a "Brownie House" where a little elf watched us to see if we were naughty or nice. The Elf would then report to Santa Clause, and he would leave us presents according to our conduct. I would like to share this cute myth with others. The positive twist on the story, which encourages boys and girls to do nice things, removes the threat that Santa is looking only for naughty acts with punishment to follow. This story will be uplifting to children. Born and raised in Wyoming, my parents built prosperous businesses and had a sheep ranch as well. I am very proud of what they accomplished with little or no outside help. Their lives are a testimony to the value of hard work and goal setting. I have tried to follow this example. Recently, I have opened a small art gallery filled with my oil paintings, and written this children's book. I hope that you enjoy it as I look ahead to my next goal. Sincerely Hazel Jean Powers-Muller
