About the author

I was born in El Dorado, Arkansas. I am the youngest of three. I was a happy go lucky child who spent most of my time outside. I loved playing in the rain, riding my red Honda 50 dirt bike in the woods, and riding horses. My best friend was Puff Puff, our family dog. He was a brown and white mutt that showed up one day and never left.
As a child I did not like school. Reading was hard for me. I taught myself how to read by reading Dr. Seuss books over and over again. Ted Geisel will forever be my favorite author!
Water skiing, ping pong, and tennis were my favorite sports. In the summer when my dad got home from work, we would pack up the family station wagon and pull the boat to the river where I would ski until sundown. During the winter, dad and I would play ping pong or tennis each night.
My mom taught me how to sew. I loved designing, creating, and making my own clothes.
Journalism was my favorite class in high school. I loved writing articles and being a photographer with a real camera. Getting to develop the pictures in a dark room... was super cool! I desperately wanted to be a photographer for National Geographic.
When I was 15, I was an exchange student to Japan. I wrote articles about my experiences that were published in our local newspaper.
After college, I became an elementary school teacher. Helping children learn to think, problem solve, and become independent learners makes me happy. My goal is to build up their self confidence so they can dream big, work hard, and reach for the stars!
I love animals, all kinds, especially dogs. I have three rescues now. Big Max is a Great Dane/Lab mix, Thomas is a LARGE Labrador, and Sammy is a miniature Australian Shephard. I would have more but I have realized 3 is my limit!
Writing has always been my passion. I write something every day, either in my journal, my notes section in my phone, on scratch paper, or on my computer. Big Max A True Story is my first published book. I have lots of ideas and can't wait to publish more.

- Reviewed in the United States on April 20, 2022Format: KindleVerified PurchaseI read this story to my granddaughter. We couldn’t stop trading it. She kept asking why he was being a bad boy. I was explaining to her how dogs are and why we have to be patient with them. We both enjoyed your book. Give big Max a kiss from us, please. Oh and a big hug. 🥰
