In 2013, after a 25-year-long career in editorial marketing, I openned a preschool with my daughter Jenn. Our little students continually gift me with a variety of story ideas and have inspired me to write stories that entertain, inspire and educate. 

My debut picture book, Let's Vote! A fruitful election tale, out this June, is set in a classroom where the students are being asked to vote for Class Fruit. Three students become the spokespeople for the candidates--the banana, the orange and the apple. During their campaign speeches the students give some nice and some not so nice reasons why their fruit should win. In the end, only one fruit wins, but everyone learns how important it is to be truthful and fair.
