I am a wife and mother of 3 children and 4 dogs. I am a teacher of grades 5-8th, although I currently do not have a classroom, choosing instead to stay at home and focus on my family. I am an avid reader, usually of children/young adult literature. They did not have books like this when I was a kid! Some of these young adult books are wonderful! I am also a director/choreographer of children's theater. I have published one book, The Tree of Life, and I enjoy relaxing with a good book, a diet pepsi, and grapes; going to my husband's band gigs; and playing card games. « less
