Author Biography

Born into an average Catholic family in Buffalo, NY, I am the youngest of 2 children. After attending high school, I spent most of my life jumping from one job to another, eventually earning an Associate of Arts degree, but knowing that I was meant to strike out on my own and be somebody one day. I started my own transcription company after my daughter was born, which allowed me to be a stay-at-home mom while still earning money. I've always enjoyed making rhymes for things, whether it's just putting silly lyrics to a favorite song on the radio, or making up phrases that just fit the moment. I finally put my rhyming abilities to good use when I started writing my first children's book, The Egg Hunt. When my children were young, I decided I didn't want to do the typical egg hunt for them, hiding eggs filled with candy or coins. So I started doing a "treasure hunt" of sorts, where the kids would have to follow rhyming clues to get to the next egg. A trail of eggs with clues led them to the "prize" at the end, which could be anything from a large stuffed animal or a toy of some kind. I grew up in Florida, but have also lived in Colorado, California and Michigan. My favorite hobbies include kayaking, bicycling, swimming, spending time at the beach, and making rhymes.
