I am a freelance magazine writer and author of 10 non-fiction books for teens and pre-teens on a wide variety of topics from fashion to parties to handwriting analysis. But my real love is writing fiction, and my first fiction book for kids was published in the fall of 2006, Zibby Payne & the Wonderful, Terrible Tomboy Experiment (Lobster Press), based on the antics of my own daughter. The second in the series is due out in the spring of 2007, Zibby Payne & The Drama Trauma. The series, for children ages 7 - 10, features a spunky, feisty little girl who remains true to herself -- sometimes, well, all the time, with comic results! I am currently working on a new series based on my 6-year-old son.
