More About the Author

I grew up on a farm outside Washington Court House, Ohio. As a kid, I liked to read a lot, and was also involved in 4-H, various bands and choirs (I played flute and piano), church youth group, the school newspaper, and a quiz-bowl type team. I was pretty disastrous as an athlete, although I did run track one year in high school. After graduating from Miami University (of Ohio), I worked as a newspaper copy editor in Fort Wayne, Indiana; a newspaper reporter in Indianapolis; and a part-time community college instructor and freelance writer in Danville, Illinois, before my first book was published. I've moved around a lot as an adult, having also lived in Luxembourg (during a college semester abroad) and in Clarks Summit, Pennsylvania. Several years ago, I moved back to Ohio with my husband and kids; we now live in Columbus, Ohio. My husband trains investigative journalists, and my kids are in high school, so there's always a lot going on around our house.

4.0 out of 5 stars What I think of Amongst The Hidden, July 17, 2003

This review is from: Amongst the Hidden (Shadow Children) (Paperback)

I think this book was definately worth reading. It kind of draws you into the situation, so that the characters become alive in my mind, and it wasn't hard for them to stay like that when I got into it. The story line was effective, and not so elaborate that it was hard to believe. It was imaginative and intelligently written, I recommend it to teen-agers, like my self.
I would love to have a book published, I write a lot, and it would be amazing to do that and draw my own illustrations too. If you would read one of my short stories, to give me any tips, please e - mail me. Thank you.
