Bio

My last year of high school was spent in the Midwest experiencing the lovely,changing seasons
and the warm and welcoming atmosphere of Kansas City. Not surprisingly I was compelled to come back
and make Kansas City my home.I met my husband on a blind date and it was love at first sight. Not long after our first anniversary we had our daughter
who has been our greatest joy.I am creative by nature. In college, I took a children’s literature course and have always wanted to
write children’s books. Here, many years later, is my first effort. It’s a bit of a true story about two young fellas,
naming chickens, and a pretty red chicken coop.
The names and identities of the chickens have been changed for their protection.
I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it.
