edit data

I am an award-winning author who has published eight picture books and a Middle Grade novel. A few of my adult short stories have published in literary contests and a woman’s anthology.

I've been featured in an article December 2017 in Story Monsters Ink. By promoting myself, I landed on Fox News in Houston, Houston Chronicle newspaper, and NPR with my first book, on blended families.

I lead a weekly critique group that I started in 2009. I continue to perfect my craft by being a long-standing member with SCBWI (Society of Children’s Book Writers and Illustrators).

Thanks for connecting! Good luck with your book. I'm sure your book will be instrumental in helping families talk about their real feeling and in avoiding relationship problems later on.
