About Me

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.

  2. After study a few of the blog posts on your website now, and I truly like your way of blogging. I bookmarked it to my bookmark website list and will be checking back soon. Pls check out my web site as well and let me know what you think.

  3. I love your site! As a teacher and a writer (yet unpublished) I found lots of great stuff here. Will definitely be back. Currently writing my first young adult book titled, By the Grace of God. It’s on my blog. Would love feedback from someone like you. Best of luck to you on your endeavors.

  5. 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!

  6. It’s a shame you don’t have a donate button! I’d definitely donate to this outstanding blog! I suppose for now i’ll settle for book-marking and adding your RSS feed to my Google account. I look forward to new updates and will talk about this website with my Facebook group. Talk soon!
