Hi! Welcome to my website. I love a good story and try to create ones that are memorable, entertaining, and sometimes educational. (What can I say? I’m a teacher.)
If you have or work with children and are looking for some good books for them, be sure to check out my blog. Every month, I choose a theme and recommend books and activities, crafts, and/or teaching suggestions that go with the theme. You can see a sample of my most recent blog posts at the end of this page. For a complete list of my themed book recommendations, go to the post library.
For updates about me and my current projects, visit my Facebook page. To get to know me better, check out the About page or, if you want to learn just how nerdy I am, the My Favorite Things page.
Announcement: Due to needing to devote time to several creative projects on which I am working, I will not be adding new blog posts for the foreseeable future.
