Creative Writing was among the high school English courses I taught over my forty years in the classroom. I always wrote with my students. It provided me with knowledge of the assignment and led me down my own path of discovery. After retirement I was able to follow my passion of writing for young readers. I enjoy reading my books in elementary school classrooms and talking to my audience. They always provide me with amazing ideas and I have been able to use some of them to create new stories.

Book Excerpt

Margie Surprises Doc

Chapter 2: New Friends

Olivia awakened as dusk arrived. She saw the dead mouse in the nest next to her and decided to have her snack. “This is delicious,” she said to herself. “I might stay a little longer here. I can smell good eating.”

Olivia left the building as dusk turned to night and started to explore her new temporary residence. She sniffed here. She sniffed there. And then she sniffed something strong. She had smelled that odor before along a road, but was surprised to find it here. She got closer to the smell and was suddenly face to face with the owner of the odor. Olivia had managed to enter a yard through a hole in the fence.

“What are you doing in my yard?” asked the odor owner. “How did you get in here?”
