Elaine Fredrikson lives in Hudson, Wisconsin and has always enjoyed being a story teller. For several years she has had aspirations of writing children's books so this is her beginning. This is the first of what she hopes to become a series of Christmas programs for people who are reluctant to direct the annual pageant. Elaine is a pastor's wife and an elementary music teacher with a background in drama and stage production. She is currently teaching in the media center at a local elementary school.
