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.

Goats and Trolls

This book came about from my love of The Three Billy Goats Gruff, Grandma's bridge, our trip to Norway,and the trick I played on my little brother. I told him there was a troll who lived under her bridge and he would have to walk right down the middle or it would reach up and grab him. I had no idea he believed me until years later when I wrote a poem about it with my Creative Writing students and sent it to him. He said, "You scared me to death!" Tulip is NOT scarey. I would like to share a review from one of my beta readers. "What a fun adventure! Children will love Tulip, the sweet troll still working on her invisibility skills as she finds new friends in a new place, reminding little ones that new can be fun!"

Book Excerpt

Tulip's Disappearing Act

Today I’m reading some fairy tales I found in Grandma’s library,” Virginia said. “I love them and one of my favorites is ‘The Three Billy Goats Gruff.’”

“So you’re reading about goats,” Don said.

“No, not really. There are goats in the story, but there’s a troll under a bridge,” she explained.
