- My Writing For Children
I love writing for children. It's fun and rewarding to make an impact on a child's interest in reading and learning.
A few of the magazines and e-zines that have featured my children's writing include: Highlights for Children, Jack and Jill, Humpty Dumpty, Fun For Kidz, Pockets, Spaceports & Spidersilk, Clubhouse Jr., Kid's Imagination Train and FrostFire Worlds. Many educational publishers have also used my work.

Magnificent Manatees (article) Kid's Imagination Train, Nov/Dec 2019 - the fun drawings accompanying my article are the work of some area school students. Sadly, this is the final issue of Kid's Imagination Train. I want to thank the KIT staff, especially Editor-in-Chief Randi Lynn Mrvos, for publishing a zine that encouraged creative students to illustrate authors' writings. And I want to thank the many students who illustrated mine.
