Introduction	Scooter grew up on a large family farm and ranch in eastern Montana. She now teaches K-6 Music at a rural school and holds B.A. degrees in Music Education, Sociology/Anthropology, and an M.A. in Fine Arts. She loves fiction that breaks the canonical and sucks readers in like a bird into a Shop Vac. She has written choral music, a play, and two novels. Her current novel, The Rider of Nealra, is the first in the "Crooked Smile Woman" series.
Interests	Christianity, Health, Equal Rights, Canning, Biking, Horsing Around, Working with my Family on the Farm, Reading, and, of course, Writing!
Favorite Movies	Most anything with actors that have more than a passing familiarity with the craft of acting.
Favorite Music	Ralph Vaughan Williams, Bach, and a whole slew of others that did awesome music without a nationwide recording contract. I also love bluegrass and folk, from groups like The Steel Drivers, Solas, Lunasa, Tim O'Brien, and John Doyle.
Favorite Books	Oh, let me count the ways.... Jim Butcher C.E. Murphy Charlotte Harris Did I mention Jim Butcher? Patricia Cornwell DIane Mott Davidson Deanna Raybourne Stephanie Barron
