About the Book

About the Author

I am a published poet from Ayden, North Carolina. Graduating from East Carolina University in 1990 with a Bachelor of Science degree in Middle Grades Education, I decided not to teach, but to work first as an Insurance Agent for State Farm, and later as an Administrative Legal Assistant for the Brody School of Medicine at East Carolina University in Greenville, North Carolina. Despite my choice of careers, I still maintained my love for the written word. I have published four poems, and I have received the "Editor's Choice Award" for two of them. Besides writing poetry and other types of writing, I also dabble in art. This book is the first of three children's books I have written, but it is the first one I have published. I have two very intelligent sons for which I am truly blessed and most proud. With the exception of living in Greenville to attend college year around while working part-time for my Alma Mater from 1986 to 1990, I have lived in Ayden most of my entire life. My favorite author is Stephen King. However, my favorite local writer, who was also my professor for two classes at ECU, is William Hallberg. Besides writing and drawing, I enjoy reading the Bible, playing with my dog, Ally, watching horror/paranormal movies/documentaries, and taking long rides with my youngest son, Trevor. Although I struggle with many major health impediments, I continue to do my best in whatever I attempt to do.
