About the author

I began to write stories for my son, Tom, and all of them had a 'hero' named Tom. A friend suggested I send some to a children's publication, where they were accepted and published. I began to write biographies when my son showed a preference for borrowing the Bobbs-Merrill "Childhood of Famous Americans" books from the library. I currently live in Bloomington, Indiana.

Another delightful "Childhood of Famous Americans" biography! Katherine Lee Bates, girl poet, went on to write "America the Beautiful".
