WELCOME!
Thank you for visiting my website. I'm excited that you're here and I can't wait to share my stories and poetry with you!
I discovered the joy of writing for children when I penned my first story for my son. That labor of love turned into a passion for writing and a desire for a career as a writer.
Come on in! Browse around and explore. I hope you enjoy getting to know me a little better. And please feel free to contact me to say hello. I'd love to hear from you!
