ABOUT ME
Though my first name is Muriel, I've always been called Dee, my middle name.
I've loved books for as long as I can remember, beginning with Little Golden
Books, discovering Nancy Drew, The Black Stallion, Charlotte's Web and today,
books of all kinds are still my passion.
I'm a wife, mother, grandmother, conservationist, reader, writer, and storyteller.
My menagerie of pets included Siamese cats, parakeets, a cocker spaniel, gerbils,
hamsters, a guinea pig, chihuahuas,a rescue kitty and a bassett hound. While I
never owned one, riding horses was one of my favorite things to do.

Living up and down the Atlantic Ocean shores, I spent every weekend at the beach finding treasures and
splashing through the waves. I was a lifeguard, a synchronized swimmer, but a poor racer. The ocean
and its marine life still fascinate me as do science and nature.
Being a classroom teacher and school principal were the greatest jobs. They inspired the dream
of writing books for children. Today, I write those books. I'm represented by Joyce Sweeney
of The Seymour Agency. I'm grateful for sharing the writers' journey with my critique partners
and kidlit friends.
