Meet the Founders
Jenni Cutler
Hi! My name is Jenni. I'm the co-founder of Happy Valley Bookstore along with my mom, Vicki. I'm an amateur writer, emphasis on the amateur part. One sunny summer day, my mom and I decided to take a short road trip. As is the case with most road trips, the order of the day was talking, and talking, oh, and some more talking. My dad's recent purchase of an e-book reader, and his subsequent distraction with its awesomeness, brought up the subject of online publishing. And like a bolt of lightening, the idea for Happy Valley Bookstore was born.
After graduating from Brigham Young University with a degree in English and a minor in Editing, I worked in a variety of writing and editing jobs. While I enjoyed the work, I still felt unfulfilled. I'm sure many amateur authors can empathize. It was during this time of mundane editing work that I began writing my first novel, "The Month of June". After years of work, I finally decided to take matters into my own hands and publish it here, on my very own website. And not only that, but to publish my Mom's books also. And while I was at it, I figured I might as well publish anyone else who writes family-friendly literature and is tired of the antiquated print publishers. I hope you enjoy the books you find on our site. |
Vicki Cutler
This is Vicki, my mom, in a classic pose with her first grandchild, Sloan. I would have asked her to write her own description for this page, but I know my mom all too well. She would have been far too embarrassed to write this herself, so I took matters into my own hands:-)
Vicki studied English at the University of Wyoming (and no, Wyoming isn't only desert and sand, there are lots of interesting things like mountains and fossils to be found there!) Vicki is the author of two books published through Happy Valley Bookstore, "The Star of All Valleys" and "Better Off Single". In her free time, Vicki enjoys reading, gardening in a big, and very embarrassing orange hat that my dad gave her for her birthday one year, and playing with her first, and so far only, granddaughter, Sloan. To those in her family, she is known as the walking dictionary. She can define and spell almost any word in the dictionary—it's uncanny! Vicki is also a stickler for grammar, and I guarantee that when she reads this, she will be appalled at the number of run-on sentences I have used thus far. |
