Thanks for stopping by.

 

I'm the tall girl in the corner trying to balance in high heels. I enjoy sports, reading, laughing (cutting up) and spending time with my husband and our spunky daughter. I began dibble dabbling with writing for kids in 2002. It started on a whim. I thought, "This looks easy enough." So I filled up all of my spare time and wrote day and night, like a hamster on an exercise wheel. Day after day, repeat, repeat, repeat. I learned very quickly that (good) writing is very hard!

 

Finally, in 2004, my teen novel-in-progress placed first in the Writer's Digest writing competition. They sent me a big check! (WAY COOL). Fast forward to 2006...I was offered my first book contract by Enslow Publishers. I recently finished a second book for Enslow published in 2009. These days I am working on finishing a novel-in-progress. It's called, Down that Dixie Highway, and is for ages 8-12.

 

My day job is at Emory. My night job is writing, and I occasionally take a break to play tennis. Or is it the other way around?

 

Before you scoot, drop me an email, find out what’s new, and of course, come back any old time!
