Hi! I am a 29-year-old foster parent, children’s writer, poet and writing teacher. I spend most of my time reading, writing, hanging out with my family, playing with my 5 cats and organizing author presentations & writing workshops at schools, businesses, and community centers around the Dayton, Ohio area. When I have extra time, I also like to dance, hike, visit art museums and browse local bookstores.
If you would like to find out more about me, you can find me on Facebook, follow me on Twitter or contact me by email at shojobeatgirl@live.com.
To see the books that I currently have available, please visit the ‘My Books’ page on this website.



Wishing you all the best with your writing career!
Thanks Eileen!

I love the theme on this webpage. Could you let me know where you can get it? Appreciate it!
I just took a general wordpress theme and inserted my own background into it, so I kind of created this theme myself, with a little help from wordpress.
I just added this site to my feed reader, excellent stuff. Cannot get enough!
Awesome writing style!
Love your blog!
This is my first time i visit here. I found so many entertaining stuff in your blog, especially its discussion. From the tons of comments on your articles, I guess I am not the only one having all the enjoyment here!
