Highlights
My passion for writing began at an early age. I spent many hours grouping random letters together in the hopes of creating a real word. Then one day my mom announced that I had successfully spelled “chair.” From that point on I was hooked on the magic of writing! I went on to write stories, poems, novels, and comic strips all through my school years. My first published piece came in 5th grade, with a letter to the editor of the Bemidji, Minnesota newspaper. After that I became convinced that someday I would be a book author. I worked for a variety of Minnesota book publishers for 16 years, and finally was able to see my own first published book. I now work as a freelance writer and writing teacher, and I’m the author of over 100 books for children, including Turn Left at the Cow, a nominee for the Maud Hart Lovelace Award. I live in the Twin Cities.
