Autorenporträt
As a young girl, I loved reading and writing. My favorite book when I was a middle-schooler was Adventures of Perrine. The historical, foreign setting attracted me. Most of all, I identified with Perrine and wanted to be like her: courageous, discerning, resourceful, and self-reliant. Written in the 1800s, it is no longer in print, but it inspired the writing of the Emeline series: A Journey and Finding Strength: During the Panic of 1893.A former teacher, my reason for writing is to provide today's youth with quality, relatable stories. I believe all stories, for good or bad, impact readers. We'll always value stories that illustrate moral character backed by biblical principles.I'm currently "retired" but work part-time as an administrative assistant while enjoying painting with watercolors, and baking. My husband of 43 years and I live north of the river in Kansas City, Missouri with our dog, Taz.
