I'm a three-cat crazy writer who also happens to have two dogs, which means I spend a lot of time talking to animals. They haven't started talking back. Yet. : )Misfit Academy is my first published Young Adult novel. Bullies exist everywhere, even in small private schools. Their victims have different reactions. Some ignore the taunting and shoving, some cower and hide, and some fight back. When someone chooses to fight back, does that person become a hero or just another bully? When I'm not writing novels, I also like to blog, eat my husband's delicious cooking, embarrass my teen son, and spend way too much time on Facebook and Twitter. I'm currently working on my second YA novel, called The Lizard King Club.
