My name is Randi McKinnon. I came to USA from Norway in 1959 and settled in Oregon. After working in food service 40 some odd years as a chef and baker I retired. Thinking retirement was boring, I needed something new to do. My correspondence with my friends almost always turned into what they called’ book editions’. Of all my hobbies, I like writing the best and decided to take a correspondence course in writing children’s books.
