About me

Gender	Female
Industry	Arts
Occupation	Writer
Location	United States
Introduction	I grew up in Andover, Massachusetts, where I spent a happy childhood living in my imagination and writing stories in my head. It was only a matter of time before those stories spilled out onto the written page. My work has been published extensively in children's and national magazines and my poetry won a top prize in the 2010 Writer's Digest Annual Poetry Competition. THE CHRISTMAS VILLAGE and its sequel, RETURN TO CANTERBURY represent the culmination of my lifelong dream to write the kinds of books I loved to read as a child. THE CHRISTMAS VILLAGE is the 2013 Blogger Book Fair READER'S CHOICE AWARD WINNER for action/adventure.
