About Me and More!

Fun Facts!
  • I played freeze tag and wiffle ball with my brothers John and Richard inside the house while our parents slept in on Saturdays.
  • I’m the oldest child, and my sister Carolyn is thirteen years younger than me.
  • I was born on Groundhog’s Day. My parents threw big groundhog parties every year. Dad created decorations!
  • Woof! I love dogs, especially rescues. I’m a Corgi fanatic. Wile E. Coy-orgi was our first rescue. Now we have Scrappy Doo, who’s two.​
  • ​My fave books as a kid: Crictor the Boa Constrictor, Mike Mulligan, and later Nancy Drew and Phyllis A. Whitney mysteries.
  • My library career began at the Wright Library, Dayton, Ohio, when I couldn’t pay off my overdue book fines.
  • As a kid, I took ballet classes. As an adult, I danced on stage for University of Dayton’s Dance Ensemble.
  • My love affair with writing began in fifth grade.  I secretly wrote poetry in my journal and won a school-wide writing contest in eighth grade. 
  • Go Buckeyes! I majored in English Education at The Ohio State University. OSU football is my jam.
  • Once I escorted a dragon mascot around an independent bookstore when author Adam Rubin of Dragons Love Tacos visited. 

Thanks for stopping by!
