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 crave waterfront sites to this day. Growing up, I had plenty of pets including
Siamese cats, parakeets, a cocker spaniel and chihuahuas, but NOT ALL AT ONCE.
I first dreamed of writing books for children when I was a classroom teacher. Later, I became a principal and the dream simmered. 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 grandchildren. I'm thankful for my critique partners and kidlit friends. I'm thrilled that Joyce Sweeney of The Seymour Agency represents me.
