My latest novel, SAFE ANCHOR, is co-authored by my sister, Judi Thompson. This is a Secondhand Hearts romance set in Savannah, Georgia. If you like Hallmark movies, you'll love this book.
Background
Information
My love of reading and storytelling came from my mother, my curiosity and love of learning, from my father. I began writing in elementary school and filled spiral notebooks with stories and story ideas.
After teaching grammar and creative writing for over 35 years, I took the materials I have developed over the years and turned them into grammar workbooks that teachers say they really enjoy using with their students, too. The Simple Steps to Sentence Sense Series of grammar workbooks are now available as a download from teacherspayteachers.com.
I write educational resources for teachers and many of them are desigend to be used for distance learning.

I also write romantic suspense novels with my sister under the pen name Tess Thompson.
