About Me:
I am a full time Day Care director, I have three young children, and every now and again I get ambitious and decide to torture myself by registering for more college classes and after a semester of derangment I decide that my time would be better spent on my own manuscripts. So I write, edit, and re-write and then feverishly research agents and publishers to no avail. Sound familiar?
What I Write:
Right now, children's picture books but I would like to attempt YA novels.
Credits & Accomplishments:
I have been at this for 3 years and am still relatively sane and optimistic- I think that's a pretty big accomplishment right there.
