About Me

I’m a speech-language pathologist living in North Carolina. I worked in the public schools for many years. I love character-driven stories for children and adults that have a lot of heart. I nurture the moss in my yard, and I’m hoping that in this epic battle of moss vs. grass the moss will ultimately triumph!

I was lucky to grow up in a house with a lot of books, in a town with a small but wonderful library. The library was located in a historic house, and has since been converted into a museum. But it still smells exactly as it did throughout my childhood.
