She always loved to write and wrote her first book at 10 years old and her first story was published in a New England camping magazine when she was 1 years old. Her other passion is teaching. She has a Bachelor of Education and taught Grades 4 - 6 for 13 years. In 1997 her eldest son challenged her to write a book that he would enjoy as much as his computer games. After Keeper of the Kingdom was published in 2001 she went back to the classroom as a visiting author, teaching writing workshops. She now has eight published YA science fiction novels and two exciting ghost stories. In 2008 my husband and I moved from North Texas to Houston.
