Debut children's picture book author with nonfiction and fiction titles ready for review.
Once upon a time many years ago, I read picture books to my brother's three children. Today, I conduct story time with their children. I graduated from the University of South Florida where I worked on the student newspaper and campus radio station. I have written news for radio, print and television. I was the transportation reporter for The Washington Times and two freelance articles appeared in The Washington Post. I created and edited client newsletters for Macy's and JCPenney. As a volunteer, I built a PR platform for a Wash., DC nonprofit without a budget. I am a member of the SCBWI and volunteer with Jumpstart's Read for the Record program. I currently have several picture book titles completed (both fiction and nonfiction/unillustrated) and seeking representation or publishers.
