I live in the woods in Southern Oregon, where I write for children while my husband Bob, Shih Tsu Dallas, and tortoise-shell cat Amber all fight for my attention.

My work has been published in Babybug, Ladybug, Children's Playmate, Hopscotch, Highlights for Children, The Friend, Bread for God's Children, Story Friend, Wee Ones, Fandangle, Dragonfly Spirit, Stories for Children, InspirationStation, Wild Animal Baby, Schooldays, Holidays & Seasonal Celebrations, and Lighthouse Story Collections.

My writing articles have appeared in Once Upon A Time, on the website for the Institute of Children's Literature, and at Kid Magwriters.

I have three picture/storybooks on CD available online at Guardian Angel Publishing, Inc. THE MISADVENTURES OF ROOTER AND SNUFFLE is a collection of three faithbased stories about brother raccoons learning about sharing, caring, and peer-pressure. ON THE GO WITH ROOTER AND SNUFFLE is three more tales about the brothers as they deal with stealing, bullies, and finding their way.TROUBLE FINDS ROOTER AND SNUFFLE deals with self esteem, friendship, and the environment. My fourth book, NOTHING STOPS NOAH, is a picture book about persistence.

I hope my books will entertain children while instilling a love for animals and each other. There isn't enough love in the world.
