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.
I was a teacher of grades 1-5, a wonderful job. That's when I longed to write books for children. Later, I was a school principal. Now, I write nonfiction and fiction for young readers. When I'm not reading or writing, I dabble in art of all kinds. I love spending time with my family and taking field trips.
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 thankful for my critique partners and Kidlit friends. I'm honored that Joyce Sweeney of The Seymour Agency represents me.

FIELD TRIPS
You never know what you'll find in the Florida Keys...a lobster bigger than yourself...a traveler at a rest...an arch of palm trees. It's a magical place to visit.
