Welcome to my little corner of the world. I am a retired teacher, a career I loved. I retired to fullfill other desires, namely travel and writing stories and novels for children and young adults. My first two novels, Dragons for Kris, and Dragon Hatchling were self published and self promoted.
I enjoy presenting my novels in elementary, middle, and junior high school settings. Discussing scenes and characters with the children and asking for their thoughts is always rewarding. Encouraging children to read and write is a grand experience for this author.
