| Introduction | I'm a former teacher and school librarian who writes for both children and adults. My most recent book, WHISPER ISLAND, takes young readers back to the Outer Banks of North Carolina in 1913. I live in Kansas City, Missouri and enjoy traveling around the United States and the world, often to visit my son, Gerry, who currently lives in Hong Kong. I'm a member of the Society of Children's Book Writers and Illustrators and Heartland Writers for Kids and Teens. My first children's book, OLD ENOUGH FOR MAGIC, was published in 1993 by Harper & Row; my short fiction and articles have appeared in dozens of publications across the United States. A teaching resource manual she co-wrote, MULTIPLE INTELLIGENCES AND POSITIVE LIFE HABITS, was published in 2001 and WASATCH SUMMER, my first historical young adult novel, was published in 2011. |
