About Me

I am a mother of two adorable children and a freelance author and educational writer. Being a parent is one of the most rewarding parts of my life. As a result, I love to write for both children and parents providing information that is both relevant and useful.

I have written seven educational books for teens and tweens including "Peanut Butter, Milk and Other Deadly Threats: What You Should Know About Food Allergies," which won a National Science Teachers Award. I also have authored a book about teen abuse ("Beyond Bruises") -- a subject I am passionate about. In fact, linked to this blog, you will find an educational blog about the issue.

Basically, because I love sharing information with other parents (especially regarding literacy), I look for every opportunity to do that. I have written for eHow, parenting magazines, blogs and any other outlet I can find!
