Oh that is very cool! I think Children’s Lit would be very fun. And thank you so much for the compliments. I work really hard to make the characters as realistic as possible.

And safety monitor is so important. Too many kids run around the pool. We are lucky tho – parents aren’t allowed down at the pool for practice, so I get to skip the chlorine. Don’t miss it!

Not a writer…a professor of Children’s Literature at a large university. My favorite reading for pleasure is mystery/thriller, and I enjoy your books very much. The characters seem like real people, and they are revealed in authentic plot events. I’d love to be a writer, but I think I am destined to be a better teacher and editor.

And I’m a great safety monitor at the aquatics center…it’s the teacher in me:) I get the best reading time enveloped in chlorine clouds while Vincent is practicing 5-6 times a week.

LOL, Patty. If you’re not a writer, I’d say that is a very good thing.
