Hello Everyone! I am a former special education teacher, and am currently a full-time children's writer, book blogger and freelance editor. My newest picture book,

It has received STARRED REVIEWS from Kirkus, Booklist, Publisher's Weekly and School Library Journal, and received a great review by The Wall Street Journal. My first picture book,
Hammering for Freedom: The William Lewis Story (Lee and Low) debuted on September 24, 2018. It is a
School Library Journal selection and received positive
Kirkus and
Horn Book reviews. I penned
African Americans of Chattanooga: A History of Unsung Heroes, which earned the 2014 Eastern Tennessee Historical Preservation Award, and I earned the
2014 SCBWI Letter of Merit for an unpublished multicultural novel. I am the author of several educational books for teens, and I occasionally review books for
The New York Journal of Books . Thanks for visiting!
