What is the aim or goal of your writing: As a career children's librarian, I am passionate about children's books, both as an author and as the person who connects with books in the library. I think that I owe my success to that deep knowledge of kids and their reading interests as well as to my own tenacity and dedication to improving my writing and learning the business of children's publishing from the inside out.

May inquiries be sent to you about doing workshops, readings: Yes

I am a frequent speaker at schools, conferences, and for educational professional development. See my website for details.
