About the author
Tedi Tuttle Wixom born in the heart of the Rocky Mountains, USA grew up far from hospitals and medical technology in pristine Idaho surrounded by high mountain lakes. Raised by an artist mother who taught school, her entire family became immersed in art, music, and books and naturally learned to love the beauties of the outdoors. Her mother read Arabian Knight Tales, Bible Stories, and Fairy tales to her five daughters. In her youth, Tedi also enjoyed reading encyclopedias, dictionaries, and maps while being raised by self-sufficient pioneer stalk that helped tame the Wild Western Frontier.
She began her formal education at Ricks College (BYU-Idaho) in commercial art and design although she loved basketball, softball, volleyball, and track and could have easily enrolled as a PE major. After obtaining her Associate Degree she served a Mission to teach the gospel in Tallahassee Florida, USA 18 months before meeting and marrying an Idaho dairyman. A transformation became inevitable when they fell on hard times and liquidated their farm assets. Thus, they returned to BYU at Provo, USA where her husband completed his Master’s Degree and she began her journey to complete a Bachelor’s Degree in English.
Nine children later she finished her her B.A. Degree in English at Brigham Young University (BYU). In the midst of raising children, cats, dogs, and college graduates She spends her time writing, reading, composing music, and gardening. Her latest historical novel, Joseph, is based on King Tut the Musical that her son, Jason, and she wrote nearly a decade ago. Jason, whom nobody would have believed to have survived as a heart transplant baby, came home from pre-school one day with an idea for the children's book: Cock-a-doodle-doo, I Love You sporting vibrant art by Derek Lancaster.
Never hospitalized until her first child was born, she has become all too familiar with hospitals. She lives with her husband of 32 years, children, a dog named Cloud and a cat named Ghost.
