Writing
"I write fiction and nonfiction for children, but there is one recurring theme: I send the characters in my stories on perilous journeys where they achieve the impossible, or learn something new about themselves and their environment. I am the eternal fan of the underdog—real or imaginary."~ Kimberly. Storyteller
