About Me
As a former teacher, I shared my love of reading, writing, and learning with my students. I even converted many students to appreciate - if not love - poetry! I love sharing my stories to entertain and help others.
My family has moved back and forth across the country, and we currently reside in Maine. We have a flock of 26 chickens, two of which are roosters. We have four dogs and two cats as well as two horses. The horses, two dogs, and one cat belong to my daughter and her husband. We have a full house bustling with activity!
I enjoy spending time in my yard, especially the garden. I have always had a garden of some type and size. I enjoy kayaking on our nearby lake; it's my new favorite outdoor activity. I enjoy reading and writing and have more stories to share!

North Idaho Fun!
A huge Thank you to the teachers and students at North Idaho STEM Charter Academy for welcoming me into their classrooms! It was so much fun to read The Nightmare to you all and answer your questions. I visited 1st, 2nd, 4th, 5th, and 6th grade classes and talked about various topics with each level. For 1st and 2nd, we talked about Maggie's problem and her mistake of not asking for help. In 4th grade, we talked about the economics of being a writer and how the process works. In 5th grade, we talked about what the witch represented and about the writing process. And in 6th grade, we talked about different types of publishing as well as the road to becoming an author.
THANK YOU for having me in your classrooms and all the positive feedback for The Nightmare!
