1 How did you get started writing for children? I
wrote my first children’s story in 1997 when I wrote what turned out to be my
second published book since last year. Thimble Kisses was my first published
and Jefferson the Colorful Caterpillar(written in 1997) was my second and have
published a third since.
2 What is your favorite part of the writing
process? Memories because all of my
stories have some part of my kids in them.
3 Do you have an illustrator or do your own art? I
have an illustrator two in fact with my already published works.
4. What would be one thing you would tell writers
wanting to write for children? The one thing I tell everyone Always Believe in
Your Dreams and Never Give Up, because it may take you a while to get published
whether you do it yourself or get a publisher just Never give up.
5. Please share information about your books and
what age group? Thimble Kisses can be for ages pre K and up but actually
written for 6 to 9 year olds. Jefferson is an Anti Bullying book for kids of all ages but
primarily elementary aged kids, The Jenny’s Most Horribly Wonderful Birthday is
for pre K and up as well. My three year old granddaughter Loves them all and
sits through them each time I read them. I have read them to 5th
graders who love them equally.
