Quotations: "I really enjoy writing for children. I find I am able to put myself on their level and explain things in a way they can understand. Working with Perspectives Press has also been helpful. They led me down the correct path and helped me to understand the publishing business a little better. Just being able to write isn’t enough. I also had to understand how to form my writing into book format."

"With four children of my own, I find I don’t always have time to sit down and write. But I am always writing in my mind. I work over stories while driving or sitting at the pool. Then, when I do finally sit down, I have mulled things over enough to just write."
