Visiting Timber Creek High School

I went on my first school visit two days ago. I visited the English classes of Mr. Callinan and Mr. Hart at Timber Creek High School in Erial, New Jersey. It was a lot of fun, and it was so enjoyable to see how interested the students were. Everyone asked great questions, and the timing of my presentation went well. After spending a few class periods talking to students, though, I must say that I admire high school teachers more than I did before I went--how on earth do they remember what they told each class when they are needing to repeat information? I am newly impressed with the work of teachers.

To the teachers and students, thank you for having me in for a visit. It was a great experience for me, as I hope it was for you!

I'll be reading from Because She Fell Asleep!

The Beginning

Technically, I was in elementary school the first time I had my fiction published. I wrote a story based on true events about my younger sister's back surgeries. It was titled Alicia's Alarm , and the short story was published in Guideposts for Kids Magazine. Though years have passed from that time to now, I have always enjoyed writing. I received a journalism degree from Rowan University, and I have spent a lot of time freelancing for newspapers. I've always loved fiction, though, and have pages of notes on novels I have been writing and intend on writing. I am now excited to have my first novel, Future Vision , being published through Metal Lunchbox Publishing. Future Vision is a young adult novel with a science fiction base and a romance plot sure to thrill pre-teen and teenage girls. Check back soon to learn more about Future Vision .

Back in the Swing of Things

Now that my daughter is six months old, I'm finally back to writing/editing on a daily basis. Be sure to check the "Events & Signings" tab for events to be posted in the near future. Also, check out my publisher's updated website !
