About the author

I have always enjoyed writing and drawing ever since I can remember.

My passions are writing prayer books and children's books.

My children's books are based on animal compassion and love of nature. They seek to instill in children the importance of adopting from shelters and the importance of Mother Earth.

My prayer books seek to inspire the reader to realize who they truly are. Some of the prayer books have illustrations for each prayer which can be meditated upon along with the prayer or on its own.

I love being in nature, walks by the water, reading the ancient texts and classic children books.

Thank you for joining me!

This delightful little book will warm the hearts of pet lovers. It is the bittersweet story of Max, a pit bull that was misundersttod and ended up in a shelter. The story is told in Max's voice. I actually teared up reading this book. I am scared of pitbulls so I was glad to read some pertinent background information about pit bulls, their needs, and their temperament. Hopefully the next time I see one I'll be a little less afraid. Children with pets will especially love this.
