About the Author
Hello! I have been writing for most of my life and am the author of many stories rooted in myth, legend, and history. Some published books of mine include:
* Fallingwater: The Building of Frank Lloyd Wright's Masterpiece - coauthored w/Marc Harshman
* Brother Giovanni's Little Reward: How the Pretzel Was Born
* No Star Nights
* Golden Delicious: A Cinderella Apple Story
* Outside the Window
* To Keep the South Manitou Light
* The Life of Saint Brigid
* A History of West Virginia
and several others expected to be published in the next year or so.
My main focus has been on books for children, although I enjoy basing stories on interesting historical events that appeal to adults too. I've had poetry featured in many journals and anthologies. I also give writing workshops and author presentations throughout the country.
I am proud to call West Virginia home. I live in Bridgeport, WV with my husband Kim. My son lives close by in Bridgeport with his wife and daughter, and my daughter lives in Boston with her two sons.
