I am an adventure-seeking, Bible-believing middle school Pre-AP English teacher, Student Council and NJHS sponsor, and YA author who loves teenagers, reading books, writing YA fiction, discussing YA fiction, singing (onstage and off), laughing (at and with my husband and students), and cuddling with my Yorkies, Elphaba and Luna. I lead a busy and (self-proclaimed) wonderfully interesting life down in Texas! My YA fantasy series, PHANTOM ISLAND, will be re-released and continued through Tate Publishing in late 2011!
