About the author
What I enjoy writing
I enjoy writing anything from articles to poetry to
novels. I love writing for children. Over the last six
years, I have written several picture books and a
middle grade novel. The picture books are waiting to
find the perfect home! I also enjoy writing personal
essays--filled with my opinions and observations of
our wonderful world. Recently, I fell in love with
articles as you can see in the column to the left!

Big Successes
My biggest success so far is the acceptance of my middle
grade novel, Finding My Place, by White Mane Kids. It
should be out in 2009. I also have an on-line book by
Reading A-Z, titled Operation Color Change. It is the story
of Logan, a boy who loves only blue. This upsets the color
fairies, and they decide to teach Logan a lesson he'll
never forget. They change EVERYTHING- stoplights,
dogs, and baby sisters-blue! I am also excited to have
sold a party plan, titled "Fall Festival," to Highlights for
Children and a science article to Fun for Kidz.
