Welcome!
Grammar All-Stars: The Parts of Speech has just been published!
This six book series I wrote with De Gibbs has a sports event in each book, along with details on the different parts of speech. They are available to buy from Gareth Steven Publishing and Amazon.com.
The different titles are as follows:
Homerun Verbs
Touchdown Nouns
Slam Dunk Pronouns
Bowling Alley Adjectives
Hole-in-One Adverbs
Tennis Court Conjunctions
The reading level on this series is third grade. However, they are appropriate for second grade and higher, even adults will enjoy them! These books entertain with humor as well as having sidebars with grammar rules.
Tell your friends, teachers, parents, home-school buddies, and have some grammar fun.
Does an author ever get tired of fan mail? Is the sky blue? Is the grass green?

~~ Biography ~~
I love writing, reading and crayons!
Solving puzzles is another one of my favorite activities. In fact, I like
puzzles so well I create puzzles and mazes for children's magazines. Click
the Puzzles tab above for some puzzle fun. Find a pencil, print and play!
In Tulsa, Oklahoma, where I grew up, I played baseball in the backyard with
my older brother and board games with my younger brother. We traveled
throughout the U.S on many family vacations. I loved visiting National
Parks.
When I taught kindergarten I liked finger-painting, storytime and cooking. Every year, when the beginning of school rolls around, I want to buy a brand new box of crayons!
Babybug, Boys’ Quest, Fun for Kidz, Guideposts for Kids on the Web, Hopscotch, Story Friends and Wee Ones Magazine Online have published my articles, poetry, and word puzzles. I have many items scheduled for future magazine issues and have written more than twenty children’s books.
I live in Houston with my husband Robert and our wild Maltese, Comet. Our son, Jeff, lives in Austin, Texas, and our daughter, Julie, lives nearby. Julie has a Pomeranian named Trixie.
A former kindergarten teacher and private preschool teacher, I am a member of the Society of Children’s Book Writers and Illustrators, attending many conferences in Houston, Dallas, Austin, and Los Angeles. I also organized a children’s writers critique group and am a freelance editor.
