More About the Author

I spent my twenties teaching and writing novels that weren't published. As I approached thirty, my first novel The Schoolteachers was published and promptly faded from view.

That led me to give up writing, I thought, and go for my doctorate in education at the University of Pennsylvania. I did complete the doctorate and along the way hooked up with a major professor who brought me along in the writing of his new reading series. The Bookshops--60 paperback books for the primary grades--was my first success (big time!) and led to a long career writing readers and texts for the school market. I loved my career as a Director of Reading/Language Arts for the public schools of Greensboro, NC and Dallas, TX, and later Vice President of Education for World Book Encyclopedia. But my greatest joy--aside from my three children--came from the many children's books I authored.

Today, I am largely retired and am back once again, just where I started,writing novels. My newest novel Teacher Accused: When Homophobia Explodes in a Texas Town has just been published! And I feel all the excitement I used to feel way back when.
