I have a special interest in young writers. I want to do whatever I can to nourish the talents of young writers. Most writers specialize in one particular kind of writing. I have published novels, poetry collections, nonfiction, books for teachers and picture books. I find that each form comes with its own particular pleasures and challenges.
Many writers suffer through agonizing bouts of writer's block, depression, or worse.
So far I've been lucky to escape all that. I write quickly. I enjoy visiting schools, talking with young readers and writers. But becoming a writer is also a dream that has come true. I love to write.
