Kellie Pettyjohn operates an organic vegetable farm called The Wily Carrot in the beautiful Mancos Valley in Southwest Colorado. She dreamed up The Daring Rescue of Bodhi the Crow while watching the animals flit about her while out in the fields. In her previous lives, she was a homeland security consultant, alligator wrangler, and Antarctic janitor. At home with her husband Nathan, she spends much of her time contemplating the vagaries of life with her 4-year-old son. Although her curiosity has often landed her in trouble, she tries to let it steer her path through this bizarre and wondrous world.
