I have always loved to write and make up stories for children. I originally started writing when my four kids were small and several of them had problems with reading. I wrote simple stories about them and the family pets that they could read by themselves. I found a great deal of pleasure in writing these stories and later did self publish several of them. I have written three childrens' picture books, a book of short stories for young teens, and many short stories. I live on a small acreage in central Iowa, where many of the stories originate from. Always something going on here that is worthy of its own story!
