Writing children's books allows me the freedom to explore the world of imagination. It's a nice break from the grown-up world. In the world of imagination I don't have to be a grown-up and that's cool with me. I think it's a wonderful thing to allow the child in me some freedom.
...When I was a child I spoke as a child, I dreamed as a child, I believed as a child. When I grew up I put aside childish things...(Corinthians 13.11)...
But the child in me never ceases to be.

I also enjoy writing short stories for older readers and I am currently working on a memoir. I made a promise to myself when I was sixteen, that profoundly impacted my life. That promise became a reality thirty years later. The title is 'Running Underwater'
