She and her husband, Tony, have three children, five grandchildren, and a spunky little pup named Bella. When Rhonda's children were young, they wrote and illustrated together. Her students always wrote and illustrated stories as part of classroom assignments. "Now," she says, "It's my turn." She loves writing stories for her grandchildren who are her greatest inspirations. "Three Little Gnomes and a Boy Named Orion" was actually inspired by her grandson, Orion, when he was three years old. "Grammy Pags" enjoys working in her gardens, tap dancing, and, of course, writing stories for kids! She is also the author of "The Little Lambs and the Very Special Mission," "Doonsey's Beach Adventure, the Great Rescue," and her first non-fiction book, "Duke 'n' Matt, Rescue Road Warriors."
