Writing, history, and reading are things I have enjoyed since I was young. Fortunately, I have been able to combine all of these in my year as a writer. I also enjoy sharing my love of writing with young people. I am constantly amazed at their creative and quick minds. They inspire me with my writing and keep me on my toes.
I have a degree in history from Elon University and was fortunate enough to take classes with author Lee Smith at North Carolina State University.
I have written for several magazines and written several creative nonfiction books for children. This past year I was a finalist in the Rose Post Creative Nonfiction Competition with a story about two young men from Raleigh, North Carolina who died in Vietnam, titled Called Home.
I have tow furry muses-my-cats-who assist me with my writing and enjoy typing on the keyboards themselves.
