A Little More About Me...

I love words and am fortunate enough to work and play with them every day. As a former middle school language arts teacher in a small rural Iowa district, I taught 6th and 7th grade students for over nineteen years. To share my love of words with these 'tweens was a privilege even though, ​shhh..., I was known to count down the days until summer break! ​

Many thanks to everyone who attended one of NILA'S book launches, donated coats or monetary funds to help #sharewarmth.

If you can attend one of the three central Iowa in-person book launches, Nila and I would love to see you. I will be reading NILA'S PERFECT COAT and signed copies of the book will be available for purchase.
Also, to raise awareness, Nila and I are partnering with One Warm Coat (www.onewarmcoat.org), a nonprofit whose mission is to provide free coats to children and adults in need, and we will gladly accept, although not expect, any donations of new or gently used coats...OR, if you'd like to help with a monetary donation, click HERE.
