My love of words, poems, and plays gelled to create a fun read aloud book filled with vivid illustrations. I have entertained many children with the poem and finally decided to turn it into a children’s storybook. I remember reading and reciting poems from the Childcraft Poems of Early Childhood book I read when I was young. I spent many happy hours with those poems and can still recite them! All I need is an audience. I love word puzzles and rhymes. It made sense once I heard the first line that I would noodle it and puzzle it until a story developed. I’m excited. The next book in the series is coming together. That elephant is bored at the zoo with nothing to do. I can’t wait to l see what adventures he has next.

I've written numerous plays, skits, and monologues.
