ABOUT ME
Though my first name is Muriel, I've always been called Dee, my middle name.
Mom shared her love of books with me and Dad told the coolest bedtime stories.
He invented tales about Bobo the Bear, a mischievous little bear like me. Hmmm.
I loved books for as long as I can remember, beginning with Little Golden Books.
Growing up, I had plenty of pets including Siamese cats, parakeets, a cocker
spaniel and chihuahuas, but NOT ALL AT ONCE.
We moved many times, up and down the Atlantic Coast. I spent every weekend at
the beach and still am drawn to the ocean and its creatures today.
I first dreamed of writing books for children when I was a classroom teacher. Today, I'm a writer.
Cool events, animals, and science achievements are always on my story radar. I've become a
research nerd, science fan and conservation advocate. I love writing nonfiction and informational fiction and make a little time to draw, doodle and paint.
My wonderful husband and I live in south Florida. Our children are grown with seven grand-
children. I'm thankful for my critique partners and kidlit friends. I'm thrilled that Joyce Sweeney
of The Seymour Agency represents me.
