All About Me:

My father taught me how to read when I was only three and I love reading to this day! It was wonderful to find myself in far away places with magical characters.

I started writing TV “Scripts” for one of my favorite shows when I was ten years old.  It was fun to write new adventures for my favorite characters.

I began writing again as an adult – short stories published in online eZines, several magazines and four antholgies.

I was a pediatric Physical Therapist for 30 years, working in a school system.  Some of my favorite times were when I was working in preschool classes with some of my students while the teacher read books to the class.  I loved to watch the students’ eyes light up as they listened to the tales.

I wondered if I could bring that excitement with my writing and began working on a children’s story.

In February 2012, my debut picture book, The Penguin Lady was published!

I am a member of The Society of Children’s Book Writers and Illustrators (SCBWI), and the Children’s Book Insider (CBI) I am also in a local critique group where people bring in their stories and everyone gives editing suggestions.  It helps us all to become better writers and editors.
