| Introduction | I am cartwheel-cartwheel-jump-up-and-down pleased to announce that my first young adult novel is being published by WestSide Books in Spring 2011! My short fiction has appeared in Highlights for Children magazine and in standardized test booklets in five states. I'm a member of The Society of Children's Book Writers and Illustrators. I also work part time as a yearbook sales rep for elementary and middle schools and have the pleasure of working with dedicated teachers and parent volunteers and incredibly talented students as they create keepsakes for themselves while documenting their school's history. |
