Excerpted from the website:
- For as long as I can remember, creative writing has always been my passion. As a child and teenager, the real world was never half as exciting as the imaginary one that lived a very active life in my mind every day. Any tree I stood near immediately became my friend, filled with ancient stories only I could understand. The bees flying from flower to flower were really fairies in disguise, and the rocky mountain surfaces were really dragons that only I could see. Any book, game, or movie I could find that fed my overactive imagination was quickly devoured, regardless of how much homework sat on my desk awaiting my attention. I wrote many stories and novels when I was young that no one ever read but myself. I was too embarrassed to show them to my family, and the few teachers who I connected with had no time or interest in reading them. At times I felt so utterly alone, though I had a loving family and lots of friends. No one knew the imaginary world that was constantly in the background, if not the foreground, of my mind. Well, as the tragedy goes, I grew up, went to college, and pursued more "productive" ways to spend my time. I worked, studied, got married, and did all the things proper grown-ups were supposed to do, letting my wild imagination recede to the back reaches of my consciousness. It wasn't until I became an assistant teacher at a school for gifted and creative children that a truly magical thing happened. The teacher I worked with noticed that I had a talent for working with students one on one. I enjoyed thinking of creative ways to assist them when they needed help and challenge them when they just needed a boost. I made games out of their lessons and tried to access their imaginations any way I could. It wasn't long before people were hiring me to give private literacy tutoring and mentoring to their gifted or gifted/learning disabled children.
