From imagination sparked by books to the joyful chaos of parenthood—here’s how my journey into writing for children began.
A Lifelong Love of Reading
I have always loved to read. The pictures I formed in my mind from the words I read were fun and fascinating. My writing began to solidify when I was in high school. In my senior year, my English teacher told me I was a good writer. That made all the difference!
Where the Real Inspiration Began
My interest in writing for children didn't happen until I had children of my own. Looking at life with them was never dull! They were so fun and interesting. Viewing their ups and downs and being with them and trying to help them navigate their lives was a full-time job. But so rewarding! I wouldn't have missed it for the world!
