I have written numerous pieces of fiction, nonfiction and poetry for children's magazines. I've had material published in two anthologies, THE GIANT ENCYCLOPEDIA OF MONTHLY ACTIVITIES FOR CHILDREN AGES 3 TO 6 with Gryphon House and SIDEWALKS 1 with Pearson Education. I have also written three ebooks for the educational site A to Z Kid's Stuff and served as poetry editor for Wee Ones Magazine for three years. My family has a huge love and curiosity for science. A few years ago, when gathering material for a science lesson on how animals use their appendages, I had a difficult time finding material geared toward preschoolers and early elementary students. The seed was planted, and I set out to write my own book that would present the material in a lively and engaging way for younger audiences. The result was my first picture book, PAWS, CLAWS, HANDS AND FEET, Sylvan Dell Publishing 2009. Since that first book was accepted for publication, I've sold seven more books for children and one for parents, teachers and librarians. See my Books Page for a full list of credits.
