Thanks for stopping by!
 
 I want kids to love reading so much that they hide a flashlight under their covers at night just to read a little bit past bedtime.  Not too long, though; sleeping is important too.
 
I like to write stories that help children explore, imagine, giggle, experience, learn, appreciate and dream.

In my first career, I was an elementary school teacher. I’ve taught grades K and 2, and served as a language arts resource instructor for grades K - 8. I also produced and directed many school-wide talent shows and holiday programs.
 
These days, I volunteer in classrooms and at a children's hospital. Recently, I worked  on a project with 4th graders who published an ABC book for a class of  children in Rwanda.  How exciting it is to connect the world together with reading and writing.
 
When I left teaching, I realized that my show must go on. Next act  – author!
