I am a wife, mother, educator, and now new author. I have been
teaching for fifteen years. Writing children’s books have always been a
dream of mine. Working with children for years and having two
children of my own provided the insight that I used to help write my books.

My family and I have lived in several different states over the years. I’ve lived on the east coast, in the south, and currently reside in St. Louis, MO. with my husband and two daughters. Originally from Springfield, Ohio, I am happy to be back in the mid-west. Volunteerism is a passion of mine and over the years I’ve worked with several amazing organizations like the YWCA, Girl Scouts, Junior League, and Jack and Jill of America just to name a few.

A Perfect Bedtime story that I read after ages. This book is just an amazing read for children that encourages them to go to bed early.

Every child has a dream in childhood of what they want to become and their choices change daily and that’s the beauty of childhood.

Breathe in … Breathe out…

Blow away that grumpy pout!
This is such a cute and colorful story that teaches children about how to calm your mind and body. It also focuses on how to let go of negative thoughts and keeping your feelings in sync.
This book is about Nia and Nori, two beautiful girls who are meditating to keep their thoughts and feelings in control. Join the sisters on their journey as they explore mindfulness techniques to manage their emotions like listening to music and thinking or doing things that give you happiness.
This book has simple text and very beautiful illustrations so kids can easily understand the story with the picture itself. This book encourages kids to practice yoga and come up with creative ways of mindfulness techniques.
Overall a fun read and learning journey for kids.  

This is such a cute and interesting story with a slightly spooky feel , I’m sure children will enjoy reading this book.

This is such a cute and colorful story which teaches children about different colors , their importance and most importantly gives the message of ‘ Unity is Strength ‘.

I grew up in Napa, California, raising a family with a now grown son and daughter who are my rocks. My life partner of 13 years is my best critic as he is always willing to share constructive criticism in regards to my writing (when requested of course). Lol I worked in law enforcement for several years – later being offered a full-time position at my local district attorney’s office. While the pay was great, I always felt there was something missing. The wine industry in Napa was booming and the population grew to immense numbers with wineries being the staple point, wine bars on every corner and the tourists were more catered to than the locals. I started to miss the old small town Napa I grew up in and needed to make some changes in my life for this and other health-related reasons.I moved from Napa to a quaint country town in Lake County, up in the mountains, high above Napa. I spend endless hours in my writing cave (which overlooks the lake),especially during this unfortunate pandemic.Here, in my writing cave, I create my stories (both novels and children’s books), editing,formatting and marketing each book after endless hours of author forums, webinars and zoom meetings in order to improve my niche.
I also ghostwrite, format and market books for others, treating each story as my own. My latest venture has been to create a Book Marketing Plan for future authors, which provides everything they would need from the beginning stages of the process to the end. Between writing projects and marketing, I am a criminal court reporter for my local newspaper. While I enjoy keeping my local community versed on the crime in my county, I am blessed to balance my brain with the lighthearted stories from within my heart along with stories forwarded to me for edits and formatting.
Life is good.I wouldn’t have it any other way. I am grateful for all of your support!

I just loved the concept of this book which teaches children about so many farm animals and what they do or what they give us . Illustrations are so beautiful and colorful that kids are going to love this book and want to read it again and again .This book has a unique POP-UP TEXT. If your child or student would like to learn fun facts about turkeys, every time they see a turkey illustration within the book, they can click on or near the turkey and a fun fact will POP-UP!!!!
