About the Author:
With a major in fine art and graphic design, Susan Moss Jenkins has become a successful painter and award-winning artist. She considers the beauty of creation as her greatest inspiration to paint. Although she has done illustrative work for other authors, this is her first published work of her own featuring her rich and brilliant pastel paintings. The concept of The Mountain Queen began many years ago when Susan wrote a poem using her great-grandmother as the inspiration for a girl who loves her mountain home. As years went by, the poem seemed to take on a life of its own as it began to parallel the life of the author. In time, Susan realized that this is everyone's story and a journey towards the most beautiful hope imaginable. She knew she had to paint the story she had written so many years before.
So what may seem a simple children's story actually has a deeper allegorical meaning laced with symbolism. It is Susan's hope that this book will encourage others to pursue the King of the Mountain in their own lives.
