About the author

Ever since I was a small child, I have had a vivid imagination. I used to think there was a wee-little family living in the baseboards of my bedroom. They would come out of the knot-holes and do their daily errands. I would watch as the father left wearing a suit, with a briefcase in one hand, on his way to work. The wife would push her baby stroller and the other children would follow behind. There even was a small scruffy dog! This was the beginning. My school years didn't go so well. I was dyslexic and no one even knew what that was. I didn't read until the 5th grade. But once I started reading it just fueled my imagination. When I had children of my own. I made up stories to entertain my children. Some of these stories are the basis of my children's books. With so many stories still in my head, I will be writing for a very long time...
