Brenda Hodnett graduated from California State University, Northridge with a degree in music education. But since then she has turned her attention to a different passion—writing stories, AND reading them aloud. She’s the writer and producer of the storytelling podcast Brenda's Books where she reads a chapter or two at a time from her novels—sometimes even as she writes them. Her other loves include: her family, children, singing, playing the piano and violin, water skiing, loud and crowded events, and perpetually losing at every sport she plays. She lives in the freezing land of Wyoming with her family.
