Author Biography

When my first Siamese cat gave birth to six kittens on my bed, my appreciation for differences and the love of cats started. Cats and students have been a big part of my life for fifty years. 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. I live in Colorado with my husband and one senior cat. I also enjoy being an active grandmother.

New Life is a Wonder

Birth. Always an amazing experience. Animal or human, it is frequently a surprise and learning experience. When I was 5,I became a sister. I had no clue how long the process of birth took and waited all day on a curb by our house so I could see my mom, dad, and new baby come out of the door. The hospital was right across the street and I thought I had the perfect view. I was eager for my new role in life. Grandma told me it would be "soon" and I realized later that her definition of soon and mine were not the same. The wonder of that experience has always stayed with me and recently I wrote about it in a story that I sent to my brother. He declared it as the best Christmas present he received. I have continued to capture the surprises of any birth in the Margie and Little Honker books. The young are constantly curious and we learn from that.
