"Calbert and His Adventures," a 12 chapter book (in paperback and hardcover), and "Tac and Tuk," a 16-page color, hardcover storybook, are being sold as "collectibles" by independent booksellers in England and the U. S., and are available on Amazon. "Tac and Tuk" is now also available as a Kindle book as are "Princess Trinka and Basil," and "The Escape: Naughty Bluejay and Woodpecker." "Calbert and Morse: Further Adventures" will be published later. A story for young readers, "June and Raven: A Love Story of Young American Indians," will also be published later. I write novels, children's stories, and poetry. Born in Maryland, I now live near the Chesapeake Bay in Virginia, and have traveled widely, getting my writing ideas from people and places encountered. I love birds and cats, especially my lap-kitty, Oliver, who often walks across my keyboard to get my attention while I am on my computer. I was awarded Second Prize in Free Verse (judged by Nikki Giovanni) in the 77th Irene Leach Memorial Literary Contest. All my children's books and my novels will be eventually available as ebooks, and as printed books. All of my children's stories embody the ideas of good manners, friendship, kindness to others, and neatness, attributes most of us strive for in our own children. Children read for the joy of it so I try to make sure my stories are entertaining, uncomplicated, and as attractive as possible. I avoid racism and sexism in my books and try for a happy ending in each one.
