I was born in Indiana, but grew up in Reno, Nevada and still live here with my husband, George, in a house in the desert we built ourselves. We raised our three children here and now entertain them with the grandchildren on a regular basis. I went to local schools and the University of Nevada, where I earned a degree in nursing. I've also been a business owner and substitute teacher. My best job, though, was stay-at-home mom.

I began writing to capture the stories my grandchildren wanted to hear over and over, which led to writing them down and eventually into books. I'm still having fun with that process. There's nothing more rewarding than getting a chuckle or comment from a child about something you've written.

If nothing is coming to me, I put it on the back burner and work on something else for a while. Sometimes an idea is just a dead end and there's no shame in moving on to something else.(less)

When I was writing music, I always had to get help due to a lack of good training in that area. With writing, I feel that I can fully own it.

Also, it's a big thrill when you actually see it in print!(less)

Why should you read my books?

A better question would be, why should your child read my books? A mother asked me that question at a book fair once, and it really made me think. Too bad more parents don't ask that very thing!
Here are some reasons:
My stories are about normal kids, - no one has magical powers. Their ability to overcome difficulties come from the strengths they find within themselves.
