What is the aim or goal of your writing:
I began writing to come up with a better way of teaching my sons American Sign Language (ASL), by creating a story and including key theme related ASL. My children were and will always be my inspiration to create. I have been writing every since, creating my series and working on an adult novel.
May inquiries be sent to you about doing workshops, readings: Yes
Yes, other than being a Michigan Certified Elementary Teacher, I am also a certified sign2me presenter. I teach ASL to parents to teach to their pre-verbal children. I also have been successful in self-publishing lectures, and my information is available online in the service section of www.awaytoread.com .
