Naomi Gaede-Penner is a writer, educator, and speaker with a master's degree in Counseling. She has been published in newspapers, magazines, and books. Her favorite projects have included:

• returning to the locations where the Prescription for Adventure stories originated
• giving Author Talks
• editing and writing the column "Telling Our Stories" by the (Kenai) Peninsula Clarion
• teaching "Writing the Personal Story" at the Kenai Peninsula College
• researching and writing her Prescription for Adventure book series

She rollerblades, bikes, hikes, has climbed two of Colorado's 14ner mountains, ziplines, collects words, gets her calf-fix with country drives, bakes cinnamon rolls on Saturdays, loves a good hamburger with yellow mustard, listens to Tim McGraw, Toby Keith, Oldies, and Motown, and can't imagine living without a piece of land — or a blond Golden Retriever. Read The Golden Years, her tribute to Copperfield (March 6, 1990 - June 10, 2006). Find out more about her current writing project and see pictures of her adventures.

Naomi has been recognized as gifted for leadership by Christianity Today. See her complete list of writing credits.
