My Writing Roots
My love of writing began back in high school. Taking both poetry and creative writing classes challenged me to put my thoughts and ideas to paper. I was hooked. I always thought that maybe someday I would pursue writing and publish my stories.
I have made a habit of journaling and writing down stories, ideas and poems as they come to me. I wrote Abby the Antelope many years ago while teaching high school full time and I convinced Sarah to illustrate my book.
After having this goal on the shelf for far too long, I decided I'd better start working on this little dream of mine to publish my books. Now here we are.
We are so excited to be working with ARK House Kids and finally sharing our work.
About Me
I love books.
So much so I have have carved out a career in education that allows me to be surrounded by them. The library is my happy place. After 15 years in the high school classroom, I made the change to school librarian.
I am honored to share my love of books and reading with children everyday.
When I am not at home writing, reading or raising my family, I work as a librarian and reading specialist.
