I founded Purple Diamond Press, and today, our award-winning children’s books teach kindness, diversity, and inclusion in schools across the nation. What started as rejection has grown into a mission to inspire the next generation to see every child as capable, valuable, and worthy.

Since I was a child I have loved reading and have maintained a journal off and on for more than 30 years. My book, "Teaching the Story: Fiction Writing in Grades 4-8" (Maupin House, 2007) reflects these twin passions of reading and writing. "If you want to write, read!" I am presently writing my first young adult novel, you can find out more under the "Half-Truths" tab. I love to read, listen to audio books, garden, teach writing, and am learning to golf. I co-publish the "Talking Story" newsletter with Joyce Hostetter, am a judge for the fiction contests sponsored by the Center for Writing Excellence, and enjoy teaching writing-- particularly to young people who love to write!

2 new #kidlit books coming in 2026!

Growing up I always thought I'd become a writer, but teaching and raising kids came first. As a school librarian, I saw the need for more nonfiction for children and that is the genre I prefer to write.
I never gave up on that dream and began my writing career in my fifties. It's never too late to learn new things!
