Have you ever done something
you really L*O*V*E?



Something you do
over and over again
because
it's tons of fun,
​and
you don't mind
​working hard at it? 




Well, that's me with reading and writing! 

I started writing stories in fourth grade
​and
​never looked back.​
  

My Creation Station
Pop into my North Carolina creation station for a virtual visit.
It's where I connect with readers 
and create my tales.

9 Fun Facts About Cat
​

Learn:
Earned my master's degree in special education.  Supported students with learning disabilities from kindergarten to college
for more than two decades.

Work:
Helped students with writing assignments
when I was a writing coach at a community college.  

(Yep, college students write tons of papers
for practically every subject, not just for English. 
So, keep up with your grammar and writing homework!) 

Eat:
Could yum down pizza and salad, with ice cream for dessert, at every meal
.


Read:
Started reading  books before beginning school.  
My all-time fave books children's books: The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, Hunger Games, Bedknobs and Broomsticks, Witch of Blackbird Pond, Sherlock Holmes, all Dr. Seuss, and too many others for this short list. 

Exercise: 
Walk a mile or two every day,  Along the beach or woodland trail is THE best.
Practice yoga
, hit the gym, and swim laps, too. 
Nephew Randy gets a kick from watching me hula-hooping.

Snap:
Love photography with a smart phone or camera. 
This passion could be in my genes since both my great- and great-great grandfathers were photographers in the early 1900s.

​Dig: 

Get my hands dirty creating, pocket-sized gardens full of color and art
for our North Carolina home.


Sing:
No, never a rock star singer. 
But I've sung in choral groups since third grade.  
Alto 1.  
 I'm a petite 5-feet, 2-inches,
so ​you'll find me 

tra-la'ing in the front row.

​And one last thing for you Muggles ......
