"I have been writing most of my
life. I started early in fifth and sixth grade and have continued on and
off throughout my life.
"I have written other things besides children's books. I have also
written poems, short stories, plays, etc.; but I have thoroughly enjoyed
children's books. They're a lot more fun. I can design a book from cover
to end. Writing and Illustrating my own books is a lot of fun, but also
full of new obstacles and challenges.
"I have a web site and I am
trying to get it into the schools so teachers can maybe use them for the
kids. I think the kids would enjoy reading my books, and this would get
them interested in books like they are in computers. The web site is
free, and teachers can use it as they please.
"I also have hard copies of my
books in libraries in the area. These libraries are: Westmoreland
Elementary and Westmoreland Public Library, Portland Elementary and North
Sumner Elementary. I hope to reach out further with my books by putting
them in more libraries and getting the word out to more schools.
"My books are good for ages 5-12
and grades K-6. My books also make good bedtime stories for the younger
ones.
"I have never been lucky enough
to get one of my books published. I hope some day it will happen because
I would love to reach out further with my books.
"My hopes and prayers are that my books will go to good use and help kids
in their early years of reading. "
