I have always loved reading … and writing. For many years, I divided my working hours between freelance writing projects and my love of libraries. I spent decades volunteering in church and school libraries and worked for over five years as an employee in a public library system. As a result, I’ve been privileged to discuss books, magazines, and other media with people of all ages and backgrounds.
My goal in writing is to provide readers with stories, articles, and activities that entertain, educate, and engage them. My list of publications, current works, and clips are available to agents and/or publishers upon request.
My other interests include digital and cut paper collage illustration, wild birds, nature photography, and collecting vintage picture books.
