Hello! Welcome to my newly redesigned web site – welcome to The Word Nest! I’m so happy you’re here! Come on in and take a look around.

To celebrate this re-launch, I’m giving away one copy each of my nonfiction kids books, China and Japan, to a lucky winner.

For more about these books, click here. To enter your name in a random drawing, just comment below. Deadline for entries is Saturday, March 7 at midnight EST. Winner will be announced here on Monday morning. Please check back to see if you’ve won! And please, if you don’t want to enter your name in the drawing, please comment anyway (and say so), because I’d love to have you join me in celebrating this new online home of mine.

Take a look around, have a cup of tea or coffee, and relax and enjoy! I hope you come back to visit often!

Hi and welcome to my newly redesigned web site. Thank you to Jenny Medford at Websy Daisy for her hard work!

I will post thoughts and news here on this blog. Random stuff like what I’m reading, what I’m writing, what my dog and ducks are up to, or places I’m visiting. I’ll definitely share any new details about my books here.

Thank you for stopping by and I hope you come back again soon!
