I completed my undergraduate work at Northern Arizona University in Elementary and Special Education. That was in the dim past -- May of 1976. I received a Masters of Arts in Education in 1983.
Since the fall of '76, I have served Mesa Public Schools in many capacities: Learning Disabilities teacher, Teacher of LD teachers, third grade, second grade, Kindergarten, English as a Second Language teacher, and Reading teacher. This is my 39th year teaching.
I started writing in 1983 with a realistic fiction novel entitled, Redwood. I am currently working, with an illustrator, Elaine Metzdorf, on The Tortoise and the Cat.
I have a husband, Wayne. We have two children: Dan, age 31, an ASU grad, and Kelsey, age 19, attending ASU. At home, I love to bicycle (I bicycle to school most days), and write.
