Writing is my passion. I choose freelance assignments I care about and I write about people who make the world a better place by the way they live in it.

I am an ambassador for children and am inspired to write for them. I fell in love with children’s books as a child and have rekindled that love as a parent and teacher. I began studying children’s literature in college at UCLA back            in the 80s with my first “kiddy lit” course, and continued with multicultural study of children’s literature while getting my Masters in Teaching from Occidental College.

Most recently, I have returned to UCLA extension for a course in picture book writing and have attended numerous Society of Children’s Book Writers and Illustrators Conferences, Workshops, Retreats and Schmoozes to become a better writer. I am currently co-hosting a new Shasta County schmooze in hopes of bringing Northern California SCBWI members together in the rural area where I live.

I recently moved back to my small home town in Northern California after living in Southern California beach towns for about 30 years. My favorite things are my husband, our two kids and our lab who sits by my feet while I write (and while I eat).
