About the author

Tina Storrs Monson was born in Provo, Utah, but moved to San Diego, California by the time she was two. She is the second of eight children and one of seven girls in her family. Her writing is strongly influenced by her hometown experiences and her large family, whose flair for story telling never ends.

As a direct descendant of Heber C. Kimball and Orson Pratt, the stories told to her by her parents about them encouraged a fascination with the Book of Mormon, Church History, and the adventures of the early saints.

Tina loves reading and as a child would disappear for hours only to be found devouring every book she could get her hands on. She enjoys all types of books from children's stories to mysteries and even historical articles. She began writing in the fifth grade when her mom challenged her to enter a state writing contest about the American Constitution. Luckily, she won and her writing career began soon afterward. She is now the author of seven published books including the popular Liahona Legacies series and the Legend of the Lamp series.

While attending Brigham Young University, she met her husband, Kreg. They have been married for nineteen years and have five children, three boys and two girls, randing in age from 2 months to 17 years old.

Her newest novel, Waters of Mormon, was released January 2007, and she is currently working on the final volume of The Legend of the Lamp Series.

Reviews

[LeeAnn · Rating 3 out of 5]

This is a fast paced, exciting story with traces of Tennis Shoes Among the Nephites. Some things started to get on my nerves like the boys constant yelling. Excuse me? You're hiding from a fierce enemy, and you cannot hold your tongues? Please! And Bubba must be a total wimp with all his screaming in the stupidest places. And a walkie talkie that holds its signal with very little static through some very lengthy passages? Okay--I have the next few volumes so I'll read them, but I hope that the chronic screaming stops. It is an exciting book though. This book would likely be good for someone between the ages of 7-10 that likes adventure.

My sister wrote this book and she did a great job, great book for all ages. Eddy Dyer is a character in the book which is my husband. So if any of you know my husband you can put a face and personality to the character in the story!!

As with the first book this was a fun story but the dialogue drove me nuts. I just can't picture kids speaking in the sentences used. I don't think that dialogue should ever be grammatically proper unless the character is some sort of scholar-type character
