More About Me...

I read and write books for preteens and teens among other things. My first
novel, TANEESHA NEVER DISPARAGING (Wisdom Publications, Sept 2008), is part of a
series of middle-grade and young adult novels about preteens and teens who live
in the same urban community. TANEESHA NEVER DISPARAGING details the drama that
an 11-year-old urban Buddhist girl goes through daily, which includes being
bullied by a teenage "ogre" girl. 

Floyd Cooper illustrated the cover for TANEESHA NEVER DISPARAGING--which
I think is cool because he's won awards for his book illustrations.

HIDDEN JEWEL, a young adult novel, is the follow-up to my first novel. It
gives the scoop on the troubled teen girl that bullies Taneesha. HIDDEN JEWEL
needs a publisher.


I've coauthored a health book for teens
with Linda Bradley, MD of the Cleveland Clinic. She's like Super Woman in a
white coat. We had a publisher, but they closed shop. So now literary agent Susan
Schulman represents our book.

And I'm a mom to 3 kids, a spouse to their dad, a daughter to wonderful
parents, and have a heap of awesome relatives and friends.
