About Me

I started scribbling stories almost as soon as I learned how to write, and never stopped. Got the bug early - probably too early for my own good because getting published is a LONG, HARD road and only intense dedication and patience and hard work will get ya there. I wanted to be one of those authors who *lived* on the library shelves. I can tell you that it's a very cool place to hang out! My novels: BREAKAWAY (Avon), ENCHANTED RUNNER (Avon), THE LAST SNAKE RUNNER (Knopf). Magazine work pubbed in: The New Era, The Friend, Family Circle, Children's Digest and Cricket. Tracey Adams, my brand new agent extraordinaire just sold a THREE BOOK DEAL for me to Scholastic Press!!! THE HEALING SPELL, Summer 2010 SECRET RITES OF THE GODDESS, Fall 2010 THE TRAITUER'S DAUGHTER, Summer 2011
