Princess Peony

...is the title character of one of my picture book manuscripts. She covered in mud, and is certain princesses do NOT have to take baths...

Thanks to Kevin Collier who published an early draft of the story on his story blog (StoryBox Library Online - http://www.blogtext.org/StoryBoxLibraryOnline/) last fall and who has also created a beautiful depiction of Peony (see above illustration).

My first blog

I really started my writing journey in high school - I wrote daily in a spiraled journal about life and (ahem) love. Mostly about how I didn't have either!

In college I wrote scripts and short stories for class. In my career I've written mostly memos and letters and some small blurbs for college publications.

For the past two years, I've been writing children's stories. I'm working toward publication.
