Welcome to my website!

Once upon a time I was a school librarian, then a children's librarian in a public library, and then I owned a children's book store for many years. 

Now I am writing books for children and their families.  Being involved in children's books practically my entire life has been a great and wonderful gift.  All these years of sharing books I enjoy and admire with practically anyone I meet has made my life very happy.  
Now it's fun to tell you about the ones I have written myself.

Enjoy exploring my website and please email me with your comments
