Many of my stories were inspired by life experiences. That was certainly the case with That Baby Woke Me Up, AGAIN!  and That Mama is a Grouch. Others, like Bubba and Squirt's Big Dig to China and Bubba and Squirt's Mayan Adventure, were inspired by my own travels around the world. I enjoy learning about other cultures and wanted to create stories for children that are not only entertaining, but are educational as well.
