About the author

No doubt about it, I've always loved books. When we were small, my parents always read to my sister and me at bedtime. My dad used a sleepy-yawny voice that I now realize was his attempt to make us fall asleep.
As the younger sister, I got so mad when it worked!
I read tons of books as a kid and on into my twenties and thirties.
I still read now, but not nearly as much. Don't know why, maybe age, maybe becoming a writer myself, maybe both, but not as many books intrigue me, pull me in, involve me in characters' lives as before.
I love to write, and began writing stories for kids at my favorite age, nine to twelve. Then I grew up a little to write teen books.
'Disappearing Act',is a short but exciting crime novel is my first venture in to grown up fiction!

I like this book. I thought it was very interesting and it kept me hooked to the end. It kept going back and fourth of who you thought was the victim. The main character is Matt and he tries to find how it is on his own. Then he also has some other problems he has to try to take care of while doing it.

I really liked this book because i love book where kids have to survive on there own and see what they do and how they do it.

Read this book to a 8 year old boy. A boy befriends a stranger in the woods who teaches him how to hunt with a crossbow. The boy I read to enjoyed the book very much.

I thought that Crossbow was a really good book. It kept me interested throughout the whole book. Its a good read for people who like hunting and being outdoors a lot. It took me 3 days to read the whole thing which is good for me even though it was kind of a short book. Its a good book so to whoever has not read this book i suggest you do if you like short stories and outdoorsy type things.
