S.D. Brown

S.D. Brown taught elementary, middle grade, high school, and junior college for over twenty years—on three continents and in seven schools. She continues to present workshops and is the owner-curator of the largest, privately owned gem and mineral museum in California. When she’s not working with rocks, she’s working on manuscripts, traveling, gardening, painting, or doing the dishes.

She wrote her first book in the first grade. It was about a cat with nine lives—one chapter for each life. No, it was never published but it was the catalyst for her love of writing entertaining tales.

She also writes as Spike Brown.
