T. J. Mueller discovered her love of writing at fifteen, when her first short story appeared on the cover of a women's magazine. Two more published stories followed, confirming what she was beginning to suspect: she had a gift for "painting pictures with words." Over the years she went on to write numerous articles and, as a Fashion Editor, learned to shape language in a different, more contemporary way. Yet her heart always returned to the magical place where it all began - the woods of her childhood, where imagination had free rein and every path hinted at a story. The Excellent Adventures of Honey and Hubie allowed her to step back into that world, filling the page with the enchanted creatures and gentle wonders she first dreamed up long ago, and inviting young readers to wander there with her.
