I love stories! I love reading them, writing them, and telling them. I was always the kid who tried to hide my library book inside my math book so I wouldn't have to stop reading. My teachers didn't really appreciate my devotion to books so I actually got in trouble for reading too much. Plus it didn't really help my math grades.I decided to write my first book when I was ten years-old. I had just finished reading a novel and I didn't like the ending so I wrote a sequel and gave it a much better ending. I've been writing ever since.Most of my favorite stories are true so I write a lot of non-fiction books, but I also like a good mystery. When I'm not writing or visiting schools I like to ride my bicycle, collect rocks, make fun crafts, and go on adventures with my husband, Darrell. I have four grown children, one spoiled teacup Yorkie, and a house that was built before the Civil War. You can read some of my stories on my blog - fabulateacher@wordpress.com
