I’m a former newspaper reporter, a once-upon-a-time military wife, and a fifth-generation farmer in Sutter County, California. Home of the smallest mountain range in the world. The Sutter Buttes. Thanks to all of you, I’m now a bestselling author too.

My real name is not Paula Scott. This is us: Paula and Scott. We’ve been together forty years now. My husband is my great romance, so I chose his name for my pen name. Scott runs my website and helps me out of countless computer messes. He really is the other half of this author gig. I am also a farmer and spend summers harvesting our stone fruit.

I love writing, enjoy farming most of the time, but my favorite job is being a mom. We had our first three children in our twenties, then waited five years and had four more babies. People always ask, “Did all these kids come out of you?” By the grace of God, yes, they did. Twenty years separate our oldest from our youngest. Nothing has brought us more joy than raising these kids.

The hardest things in life have been the best things. All seven of my pregnancies were hard, but this gave us beautiful babies. Working on our farm is hard, but it has granted us the perspective that life should be a labor of love. I never thought I’d end up a farmer and an author too. Strange, I know, but it works just fine. Thank you for taking the time to find out more about me. Wishing you a harvest of faith, hope, and love. And the greatest of these is love.

Peace and love, Paula
