I write stories for children and teens, both contemporary and contemporary fantasy. I'm represented by Jazmia Young at Curtis Brown, Ltd.
When I was young, I inhaled books, even sneaking them under my covers to read when I was supposed to be sleeping! While I also enjoyed creative writing and often made up stories in my head, I didn't think of myself as a writer, so I didn't try to write seriously until I was an adult with children of my own.
A writer never stops learning how to write better, so I'm an active part of the writing community. I'm a member of SCBWI (The Society of Children's Book Writers and Illustrators), including the New England regional chapter. I also attend workshops at The Highlights Foundation and The Writers' Loft to improve my craft.
By day, I'm a special education teacher. My focus is on English Language Arts, and it's my goal to foster a confidence and love of reading and writing. I've also taught history.
I live in the Boston area with my family. We like cooking and hanging out in our backyard with our Beagle, Milo,Luna is my reluctant co-worker who rarely sits in my lap, but she steals my seat when I stop writing.
