Now, over 20 years later, I write novels, picture books, songs and poetry, have 2 Bachelor degrees in English and Elementary Education, with various writing classes, workshops, and group memberships (WFNB, WFNS) behind me. I have published some poems and articles and have also self-published a nonfiction book about Bellydancing. I write in many genres, but my first love will always be writing for children. My goal as a children’s writer is to write books that children will love to hear and read over and over again; to foster a lifelong love of literature in new readers. I am always looking for opportunities to improve my writing and develop what I envision to be a long and prolific career.
