"What influences my work are my family, my work and field of expertise, and a desire to share knowledge."

"My writing process involves research, gathering information, building a table of contents (organization of thoughts), more research, writing of text, one chapter at a time, discussing with others, having coworkers review, working with editors and the publishing company (ongoing), and finalizing the work and the final edits."

"What inspired me to write on the subjects I have chosen are a desire to write and share knowledge, a need for these particular works in the field of school library media, and expertise in the areas."

"International initiatives are of vital importance to me. My writing often reflects this, as I have had the opportunity to work in eleven different countries."
