I can't imagine living away from the ocean where I find peace, beauty and a place to think. I have always enjoyed writing whether it was poems to friends, keeping a journal or working on a memoir for ten years while raising my two children. My son Jeff lives in Belmont Shores and my daughter Allison in Redondo Beach. After taking several writing classes from El Camino College and then UCLA Extension, I began thinking about writing a book. I had never taken a children's writing class, but once I did I knew a perfect subject to write about and rhyming was enjoyable for me. I love being outdoors and have played a variety of sports. Tennis and golf were my two favorites. I graduated from Whittier College where I received my teaching credential. I am a fan of the movies and rarely miss a Friday with my husband. There is a special place in my heart for animals and over the years we have given homes to over twelve cats and most lived to be old. We are on our second MinPin who is too smart for her own good and a difficult dog to train just like our first one. We enjoy doing things with our kids and are so happy they both live close by. Besides writing, I hope to find a volunteer job to help people or animals.view less
