I have always loved reading … and writing. I happily divide my working hours between freelance writing projects and the Gurley Public Library, where I am privileged to hear firsthand opinions about books, magazines, and other media from people of all ages.

The goal of my writing is to provide readers with stories, articles, and activities that entertain, educate, and engage them.

My resume, list of publications, current works, and/or clips are available to publishers upon request. A few of my works in progress include a young adult novel, completion of my third picture book manuscript, and collaboration on a digital gluten-free cookbook.

My other interests include wild birds, nature photography, collage illustration, and collecting vintage picture books.
