As a child I grew up in a little house, with six siblings, my parents, my grandfather and one bathroom.  My mom took us children to the library weekly and I loved it.  Reading was my escape from my noisy, chaotic household.  I could fantisize about being on my own, going on an exciting adventure or solving a mystery.  My love of books has always remained with me.  I made up books as a child and wrote poetry as a young adult.  When I became a mom I began reading books to my sons, and for fun we would creat our own story books; just like when I was a child.  This fun project turned into a passion for me as I began my journey as a children's book author/illustrator.  A major influence in my life was my dad who always told me that I could grow up to be what ever I wanted to be.  I was a girl, yet very much a tom-boy who wasn't afraid to go for my dreams.  As a child, I loved Dr Seuss, Beatrix Potter, Alice in wonderland and of course, Walt Disney. As an adult, I love how to books, biographies and a good mystery.
