| Introduction | I love to learn and explore new opportunities and new places. In my adult life I have taught college classes, learned to tap dance, mentored new staff, ran an after-school program, coordinated an exchange program for an Italian volleyball team, bought and sold hundreds of vinyl records on eBay, taught Sunday School, and developed ideas for therapy equipment. Since my mind never stops, I began writing down ideas and stories about 12 years ago. A number of my magazine length articles and stories have been published in national magazines for kids, parents, and professionals. I've written a picture book and a historical fiction novel and am working on the sequel. I love to share both my work and ideas about the creative process. |
