I am a first grade teacher who enjoys every challenging day inside my classroom. I am also a wife, mother, and a grandmother. I love the mountains of Kentucky where I was raised, my heritage, my roots! My book of short stories and poetry about growing up in the hills of southeastern Kentucky titled "Kentucky...The Mountains I Call Home"  is now available on most online book stores . I have enjoyed marketing my book, meeting new people, and reuniting with old friends on my journey across the great state of Kentucky. I enjoy writing poetry, short stories, and I love to write children's stories for my students. I love to tell stories and use them inside my classroom, stories of my youth, fables, and sometimes my own twist on fairytales. I also love to sketch and draw...Other than writing I love to read and spend time on our farm, working in our vegetable garden, flower gardens, and loving nature. We have Boer goats on our farm which are very loving animals as well as beautiful. I enjoy crocheting and making gifts for my family, and I enjoy receiving handmade gifts as well. As you can see I am a person of many interests. I have a new children's book near completion and will keep everyone updated, I also have a second book about people in the mountains of Kentucky very near completion as well! I am anxious for the release of both!
