Hello and welcome to my website.

My passion is writing books for children to educate on personal and social issues, and books about dogs. I aim to write books that promote thought and discussion, and contain positive messages.

I also enjoy helping adults record their memoirs, and writing biographies.

There's more information throughout the site so please read on.

Note that some of my titles can be purchased directly by going to the BOOKS section of this website.   

Please feel free to contact me through the CONTACT tab on this site.  Thanks for visiting.
