More About the Author

Born in Seattle but raised in Ithaca, New York, I've come full circle, moving back to the Finger Lakes region in 1991, marrying my best friend's brother, and continuing to write without having to live across from Tompkins Square Park. My bread-and-butter is El-Hi textbooks, and on a typical day I may work both on Kindergarten science and high school literature, or on 10th grade social studies test prep and MCAT Verbal Reasoning. We have a new house we built from the ground up on 150 acres of fields and woods, where we raise chickens, turkeys, peacocks, guinea fowl, pheasants, chocolate labs, hamsters, toads, turtles, fish, and our daughter, Olivia.
