I grew up in the little town of Arcola Illinois and that is where I
raised my three children.
We
moved to Florida in 1996. We were on vacation in Florida, visiting my in-laws,
and we decided that
we enjoyed Florida so much we just packed up the dog and my
three teenagers and moved.
I had a day-care in my home and enjoyed reading to the children. One day I thought,
"I
can do that," so... I got my laptop and started writing about kids...doing things that kids do.
My daughters went to church camp when they were little, so I started writing about kids
at
camp. My youngest daughter had a hamster, so I threw a hamster into the story.
I wrote one book, 'Ridge
Street Church Mouse,' then I wrote another, 'Ridge Street Home,'
and now I have just released
my third book 'Ridge Street Prom." Currently I'm working
on Book #4, 'Ridge Street
Model.' I have a few more books planned for my 'Ridge Street Series.'
The characters in my story just come alive when I write. I hope you enjoy reading about Amanda
Anderson, her friends, and family, as she matures and grows in Somersville, as much as I like
writing about
her.
