ABOUT ME I have been teaching for thirteen years. My first four years were in Glen Allen, Virginia, the next three in rural Indiana, and the last six in Marietta, Georgia at Blackwell Elementary School in Cobb County. I have a passion for hooking readers on books they love and challenging developing writers.
One of my biggest challenges has been bestowing a love for reading and writing into my own two sons: Vincent (10) and Dominic (8). Vincent has finally sunk his teeth into the Land of Stories and is currently reading book 6, Worlds Collide by Chris Colfer. Dominic has found his niche with Baseball Mysteries series by David A. Kelly and is impatiently anticipating the arrival of book 5.
Ironically, as a child, I did not like to read. That's right- Not. At. ALL. I simply read when I had to in order to appease my school teaching mother. Oh how I wish I could get back THAT time to dive into my endless stack of books NOW!
