I am a library media specialist by day. That means I teach research skills, literature and media literacy to PreK- grade five students in an independent school. By night, I am a children's writer. I have published two books and am spending more and more of my time writing. I hope to retire and become a full time writer someday. I have two kids . My husband is an artist, doing oil paintings, mostly landscapes. I also have two dogs, a black lab and a white Westie. I love to hike, ski, cycle and spend time with my family in exotic places like the Bahamas.
