Workshops

I do creative writing workshops for the younger children – what inspires me to write the stories I do and how they can pull from their inspirations for stories.

For the high school kids – I do publishing workshops. We are an independent publisher – the topics include what we look for in submissions, promoting books, the difficulty in such a competitive field.

Biography

I have been writing – my whole life, really - but my first book, we self-published in 2005. It was then that I discovered the “love” I have for publishing. Now I am able to do both. We try to publish two titles per year – one of my own and one from another author. I spent a number of years teaching Kindermusik (a preschool music program) – which has given me the rhythm that I write with and a sense of comfort to do public readings. I am the mother of two kids – and I have enjoyed creating stories for them, about their life experiences. They are my inspiration.
