Hello!


Thank you for stopping in!

I strive to help improve children’s literacy and help writers become published authors because I believe that giving youth the power to express their unique ideas will have a positive impact on the world.

I’m also the proud Co-Host of MappineerVille.com, an online community dedicated to giving folks like you and me the opportunity to support each other’s efforts to become the best versions of ourselves.

Our brains are wired for stories. Whether stories are told as narratives with characters and plot, or whether they are wrapped in the poetic magic of rhyme and meter or free verse doesn’t matter.

A story we love captures us and lets us use language not only to remember it, but to re-tell it to others at a later time and place.
