BOOK ME FOR A VISIT
"Students had the opportunity to hear authors share their own process of developing and drafting ideas, pre-writing, editing, and the stamina that it takes to work through this multiple times to the rewarding end stages of book publication."
- Julie Bergen, Mohr Elementary Principal
"It was wonderful to have you as a guest in our class yesterday! The students loved learning from you and hearing your story.
After lunch, we read My Pet Phoenix. The class loved the book!
They said they would want it when it's published! We believe in you!
Thank you again for taking the time to come to our class. It was a joy to learn from you and be inspired. "
- Mrs. Burden, Teacher
