Graduation

Believe it or not I do other things besides write books. I am graduating Wilmington University in two weeks with my Masters in Elementary Education. This is a very exciting time for me. Now all I need to do is find a job. That should be fun

I am still currently trying to set up some readings and signings around the area. There is currently a deal being worked out with a major bookstore chain.

Any new news will be posted as it happens.

Elsinboro Book Fair/Pajama reading night

Tonight will be my first public appearance as a children's author. I will be at the Elsinboro School tonight from 6-8. The principal will be reading my book to students and I will then talk to the students and sign books for them. I am very excited for this opportunity. I would like to thank the Elsinboro School Association for giving me this opportunity tonight.

I will keep you posted and thank you for your support
