Author of Junior Library Guild Gold Standard:
ROSALIND LOOKED CLOSER: AN UNSUNG HERO OF MOLECULAR SCIENCE (Beaming Books)

2 new #kidlit books coming in 2026!

Growing up I always thought I'd become a writer, but teaching and raising kids came first. As a school librarian, I saw the need for more nonfiction for children and that is the genre I prefer to write.
I never gave up on that dream and began my writing career in my fifties. It's never too late to learn new things!
