Hopefully, I was able to put my bio together where it is understandable. From being a freelance writer for years I hope to be able to dedicate to my first love, writing for children. In between I wrote and studied how to write for children. I have lots of finished and unfinished manuscripts. In the past I have received good feed back from editors. I have also visualized somewhat, how I want to set up my website with photographs and helpful information for teachers and fun things for kids. I am at peace and I know God has a plan.
