R.E. Swinton is the proud mom of four and grandmother to one lively three-year-old. Her love of books and storytelling began early, thanks to her mother, Alfreda, who built a library of milk crates and books for her three "gumdrops," sparking a lifelong appreciation for the magic of reading. This passion was further shaped by grandparents, whose legacy of love and learning left an indelible mark on her life. She carries their lessons in her heart and honors their memories through story telling. An avid reader of historical fiction, R.E. Swinton loves holding impromptu dance parties with her grandson, reading him stories, and laughing until her sides hurt. She created Millie and the Magical Recipe Book to celebrate the power of kindness, imagination, and the joy of sharing. This is her debut children's book, and she hopes it inspires wonder, laughter, and love in readers of all ages.
