Tedi Tuttle, born in the USA, earned an associate degree at Ricks College in Idaho, now BYU-Idaho, majoring in Commercial Art and Design, and much later completed her BA in English at Brigham Young University, (BYU) served a gospel-teaching mission in Georgia and Florida in her early 20's, and has taken many other writing classes and concentrated much of her time on family histories, recipes, and poetry. Years later she enjoyed serving as the President of the League of Utah Writers in the Oquirrh Chapter in Salt Lake City. She loves telling unique and interesting stories because when her children were little, many books were poorly written with unmemorable art, thus she began to write her own stories: Mrs. Spider Does Lunch and A Princess, Dragon, and Baker which she later turned into a Children's Opera, performed as A Princess With an Attitude, and she directed it twice at a local elementary in 2016. She has been writing stories since 1990.Her fifth child received a heart transplant at nine-months old at LLUMC in Loma Linda, California. It was a harrowing experience, but was a successful surgery by Steven Gundry. Jason's skinny-as-a-snake body was the inspiration for Danny is Different: Triumphant because he was always made fun of in school in his youth due to being scrawny. She co-authored a book with him called Cock-a-doodle-doo, I Love You, when he was age 4. A Whisper of Springtime: Jason's Heart Transplant Miracle about Jason was last updated as a 20th Anniversary copy with color photos for a fundraiser for his second heart transplant in 2022 and is available at www.tedituttle.com through BYU. She's been writing for over 50 years. Her latest adventure was on a Western Caribbean Cruise where she sang with The Mountain West Chorale under the direction of Richard Pearce. She has always loved to sing, read, and write. Married 41 years, she is the mother of 9 accomplished children. She loves hiking in the mountains, cooking, composing music, singing, and writing new stories. Joseph: Based on King Tut the Musical is her latest book in print found on her website.
