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.
Growing up in a Navy family, we lived near the sea, moving up and down the
Atlantic Ocean coast-- Boston, Key West, Norfolk, Virginia Beach, and Charleston,
SC. I had Siamese cats, parakeets, a cocker spaniel and two chihuahuas, but NOT
ALL AT ONCE.
When I taught grades 1-5, I dreamed of writing books for children. Later, I was a school principal and the dream simmered while I waited for more time to write. Today, I'm a writer. I find cool ideas and turn them into nonfiction and fiction stories. I also dabble in art in my art corner.
My wonderful husband and I live in south Florida. Our children are grown and the six grandchildren are almost ready to leave the nest. I'm grateful for my critique partners and kidlit friends. I'm thrilled that Joyce Sweeney of The Seymour Agency represents me.

Why do I write nonfiction and informational fiction -- KIDS LOVE IT!
