Hi! Thanks for your interest in my story, meaning literally for checking out one of my books and for reading this bio now.

I started my writing career at five-years-old by entertaining my kindergarten peers with original puppet shows during playtime. And when none of them left until I said "the end" I thought, "Hey, making up stories is fun!" So I never stopped.

I've had 16 plays produced from Chicago to Fort Lauderdale, with "Our Holiday Show!" now self-published. I've had 4 screenplays and 1 TV series optioned in Los Angeles. I've written 2 books including Animal Motions, a children's picture book (published by Indigo River Publishing), and Sergeant Stubby in the Great War, a historical fiction novella (published by Birch Owl Press). And I've edited 12 books in a variety of genres with authors from L.A. to N.Y.C.

The writing fun truly never stops!
