As a child in the Florida wilderness I developed such a love of wild creatures! At age eleven, I began a feud with our neighbors by blowing the whistle on Mr. Hurry for shooting a red-tailed hawk (he threatened to also shoot my cat, but he never got her.)

I soon began writing stories for school assignments and for pleasure, and continue to harbor a passion for both wildlife and children’s literature.

I enjoyed a fifteen-year career in photojournalism, covering political events such as speeches by Nelson Mandela, William F. Buckley Jr., Elizabeth Dole, and King Juan Carlos of Spain.

In the mid 90’s I worked as a video editor for a multimedia company producing "how to" videos.

Between 1996 and 2002 I traveled the U.S. photographing an NFL team.

These days I manage and interpret a living history “tavern” in a Colonial Spanish Museum, in my hometown of St. Augustine, Florida.

I prefer to write non-rhyming picture storybooks with environmental and historical themes. Three of my stories have been published by the ezine, "Stories For Children." I’ve been an SCBWI member since 2005.
