About

I’ve been a magazine editor, communications manager and feature magazine writer for over 20 years--learning and writing about  everything from celebrity chefs and pharmaceutical products to resorts, homing pigeons and pot-bellied pigs. About three years ago, my love of words merged with my desire to see a little fun in everything-- resulting in a series of juvenile fiction books known as: The Adventures of the Poodle Posse.

I now spend much of my time penning dog tales and even more inspiring---in elementary school classrooms,encouraging children to pick up a pen and tell their own stories.   Member Society of Children’s Book Writers & Illustrators (SCBWI), the Keystone State Reading Association (KSRA), Independent Book Publisher's Association (IBPA)
