Since I was five years old, my dream was to be a writer. I never thought I could write anything more than a grocery list, but I've managed to put together enough words to make a novel. In fact, what was once a short story I wrote in High School, has now blossomed into three interconnected series of books. The first of these is Sally Singletary's Curiosity, receiving rave reviews from early readers!

I've worked in education for over 15 years and my favorite part of my job is teaching writing. In Special Education it's sometimes difficult to get a child who has a great deal of difficulty with writing to compose a story. Recent advances in technology, along with some good old fashioned tried and true methods, have given these students a chance to express themselves in a way they never could before. It's exciting to see kids who no one thought could ever compose a story, write something that is beautiful and insightful.

My challenge to you. Never underestimate a person's potential to do things you never thought they could. I never thought I could become a writer and, while it's way too early to guage my success, the fact that I was able to complete a novel at all still amazes me. We should all know our limitations, but don't be afraid to test them every once in a while.

A PROMISE TO MY READERS: I will never use paid review sites or fake reviews, only real reviews from real people.
