I’ve spent twenty years as a reporter and the next stage of my life in the classroom as an English teacher, and that led me to write my first book, Finders Keepers.
Now I’m happy to introduce my first series , which draws on my fondness and respect for our country’s national parks. My National Park Mystery Series begins with The Day Old Faithful Stopped. A mystery set in Yellowstone National Park.
Finders Keepers had everything my middle-grade students always look for in a book: a little trivia, a little treasure, and a lot of good overcoming evil. And I like to think that The Day Old Faithful Stopped does too.
Look for it at your favorite bookstore or on the shelf of your school or public library.
Until then, I’ll look for you on my hikes in America’s national parks.
