Thanks for visiting my web page! I love to write and I want to share my ideas, creations, and blog with everyone. Writing for children allows me to be a perpetual child and feel no guilt for allowing my brain to think like a seven year old. (I highly recommend it!)

Preparing Our Children for a Different World
I live in rural Iowa where people still hold the door open for you, strangers wave from their passing car, and there is a sense of peace in the Heartland. When a college girl gets kidnapped and killed in a rural town only minutes away, and then a twelve-year-old boy...
