I am a poet and author whose fiction and poetry appears or is forthcoming in children's magazines including Cricket, Ladybug, Babybug, Highlights, Hello, and the Dirigible Balloon and its anthology, CHASING CLOUDS. My middle grade novel in verse, REENI'S TURN, tells the story of a shy and introverted girl persistently searching for the courage to be in the spotlight—but to do so, must first find courage, body acceptance, and her own strong, but hidden voice.  I am represented by Joyce Sweeney of the Seymour Agency.
