Thank you Marcella C. for this great shout-out for Omega Crag on Instagram. I'm working hard to make KIMIMILA RETURNS a worthy follow-up in the Zahra of the Uwharries Series. I'm also thrilled and honored that the NC Literary Review recently reached out to my publisher for a copy of Omega Crag. I'll be on the lookout for that review in the coming months! |

I have two passions. One is writing. I love creating, editing, polishing, and finalizing stories. Every stage of the process is exhilarating for me. My other passion is teaching. This is my third year back in the classroom. |

I began teaching decades ago when I was in college. I taught preschool, then graduated and taught kindergarten and first grade. My career trajectory strayed out of the classroom after a few years. But when Zahra entered my life, things changed. One day, I found myself |

presenting to a group of students that were about Zahra's age. I walked out of that classroom with a strong desire to change my career path one more time. After I set up my classroom and welcomed a new group of students this year, I knew beyond any doubt that I made the right decision. I'm a writer who teaches. It's how I envisioned my life when I was in college. I'm there. I'm grateful. |
