Background
Information
|
|
I have taught high school English for over 20 years, and the legend of King Arthur for nearly 10 years. My students have been one of my biggest influences. I believe that everyone should enjoy reading, so my books are aimed at what I refer to as reluctant readers. These are kids who can read but choose not to. My students were fascinated with The Once and Future King, even those who didn't read, but knew little about Guinevere. This is where I decided to start with my wriitng.
I am currently at work on my next book "Young Knights of the Round Table."
