| Bio: | My first book, Shark: Terror of the Sea, was never published. My parents taped it to the refrigerator, though. I was seven years old and have been writing ever since.
Luckily, I've always had jobs that involved writing. I spent seven years as a television producer and reporter before earning my master’s degree to become a middle school English teacher. Now I spend my days reading and writing children’s books and sharing those passions with my students. I have presented at numerous workshops for teachers and in 2005 earned National Board Certification in Early Adolescent English Language Arts. I am a member of SCBWI, the Society of Children’s Book Writers and Illustrators and AS-IF, Young Adult Authors Supporting Intellectual Freedom.
I live on Lake Champlain with my husband and our two children. When I'm not teaching or writing, I love to spend time outside hiking, kayaking, biking, running, ice skating, or skiing. When the weather is too nasty for any of those things, you’ll find me curled up by the fire with some dark chocolate and a good book.
