About the author

I have written eleven grammar books: The Best Little Grammar Book Ever, Correct Me If I'm Wrong, Beyond Worksheets, The Great Grammar Cheat Sheet, The Best Grammar Workbook Ever, Fifty Shades of Grammar, The Second Edition of The Best Little Grammar Book Ever, The Best Little Grammar Workbook Ever, Does Your Flaming Flamenco, and The Best Little Grammar Collection Ever, and To Comma or Not to Comma. My books are aimed at an audience from about 6th grade through adult. I recently left teaching after 11 years as a middle school English teacher. I now concentrate on my business full time. My company, bigwords101, conducts grammar/writing workshops and presentations for corporations and other groups; sends out a weekly grammar blog; and publishes grammar books. I have also written a novel, Girls of a Feather. And I just released a dating memoir, When Life Hands You Frogs. There are plans in the works for online classes and a business writing book. And then, maybe fiction?
