I began writing when I was eight. My eclectic mother would simply tell me to "write it down" when I had too much to say about our crazy life. I began my professional writing career by adapting my first novel into the screenplay Tumbleweeds. I went on to adapt other novels for the big and small screen including Charms for the Easy Life by Kaye Gibbons. I wrote the book Finding Angela Shelton about how my directing debut, Searching for Angela Shelton, changed my life.
While fulfilling my dream of living in the country and writing books in a barn house - the character of Tilda Pinkerton was born. I incorporated Tilda into a line of book projects for all ages. The 'big book' is the middle grade fantasy series, The Adventures of Tilda Pinkerton, for advanced 5th grade readers and up. Tilda Pinkerton's Magical Hats is a series for readers k-3.
I am always writing something for print or screen and I love my life. Thank you so much for reading my books. There are quite a few more to come!
