One of my greatest joys has been to watch children discover what their world is all about.  Little did I realize how these observations would become invaluable resources for my writing.  It was my granddaughter, Macy, who has Down Syndrome, that inspired me to write my first children's book, Is Being Different a Good Thing to Be?.  At times it was challenging but worth all the late nights researching, the gallons of caffeine intensive drinks to stay alert and the many missed events to complete the manuscript.  And finnish it I did!

For years my children and now my grandchildren have encouraged me to put on paper the many bedtime stories I told them.  Honestly, I just figured what was the sense with the multitudes of  wonderful tales already out there?  Then, I thought what's the harm of just writing them for my family?  I focused on writing about something I knew something about.  It was my granddaughter, Macy, who has  Down Syndrome,  who inspired my first  children's picture book, Is Being Different a Good Thing to Be?  I have since completed two more Macy stories and I'm working on the fourth.  I've  also created another series featuring a wonderfully,  whimsical character I call Bingo Boo. I have almost completed the fourth book in this series, as well. Is Being Different a Good Thing to Be? is now published. Something I never dreamed would happen; I captured my dream.
