Growing up in southern Idaho, she spent many years tending to her family’s farm, but in recent years, she has taken to working as a writer. In 2020, she published her first book, “Under the Barnyard Light,” which captured many of her childhood experiences for readers to enjoy.

As part of her vocational journey, Ms. Osborne pursued a formal education at Brigham Young University-Idaho (formerly Ricks College), where she earned an Associate of Applied Science in 1980. She also maintains membership with the Independent Book Publishers Association. To commemorate her accomplishments in the field, Ms. Osborne was honored with the Benjamin Franklin Silver Award in 2020 for “Under the Barnyard Light.” In light of her fulfilling career, Ms. Osborne largely attributes her success to remaining true to herself, as well as the love and support of her family, especially her mother and husband. She is especially proud to be able to share her stories through her literature, and she is grateful to see how they resonate with audiences. In the coming years, Ms. Osborne looks forward to publishing more books, including her forthcoming book, tentatively titled “Home Again.” CARLA CRANE OSBORNE AUTHOR, OWNER Gona’s Reading Ranch Meridian, ID
