About

I grew up in rural Kansas, where there was plenty of time for reading. My mother (an English teacher) took my sisters and I with great frequency to the library. My imagination developed rather effusively; I was certain, for instance, that a little man with a poison dart gun lived among our the basement storage, that a very skinny civilization conducted life within the walls of our home, and that a Bengal tiger (somehow) hid itself in the school bathroom.

Before I learned my letters, I dictated short stories to my mother. She would read them back to me, and always I insisted on changes and corrections. Gamely my mother worked with me until I was pleased with the story. (I imagine she was glad when I learned to write.) Throughout my childhood, I continued to put stories on paper. It was my passion.

Eventually I went to Kansas State, where I graduated Magna Cum Laude and Phi Beta Kappa. I did a Masters in geography, married, and had four children. My writing had long been pushed aside; I seemed never to find time for it. I read many, many books to my kids, though, reacquainting myself with the children’s market. I discovered fantasy, which was a genre I didn’t read as a child. For the past five years I’ve volunteered in the school library, visiting with the kids about books, and learning what is available on the shelves.

I began writing Beyond Seaside with my twin boys in mind. Patiently they’ve sat through many a reading of various books; but only occasionally have we discovered a tale that truly enthralls them. Beyond Seaside was written with a lofty goal in mind. I want it to enthrall children and adults alike!

Description

This coloring book version of the best-selling “whine-stopper” children’s story was designed for kids to enjoy reading the rhyming, as well as being able to illustrate their own version of Peter’s nocturnal adventure into the woods. Peter’s mother warns him that if he doesn’t stop whining and crying, he’ll have to go live with the Whimper-Whineys. His adventure continues as he later hops into the woods and finds lots of frightening Whimper-Whineymen! He discovers that the Whimper-Whineys are very ill-mannered and rude, and that everything is sour in Whimper-Whineland. He decides his mother was right. If only he can get back home! According to a recent critique, “I cannot imagine any parent or guardian not wanting to read this book to their child! ... Parents everywhere applaud you!”
