Years of competitive swimming didn't help me anticipate seasickness.
I graduated from Indiana University of Pennsylvania with a major in biology and a minor in chemistry and some notion that I would do marine research. They bought me an electric typewriter and crossed their fingers, but somehow PASSION'S BRIDE came out. My supportive, but vaguely concerned parents, sighed with relief when I announced I was going to write children's books. There was also a story about a runaway girl with the unlikely name of Strawberry and one about mistaken identities and an evil blind date. In seventh grade I wrote a melodrama about two orphan sisters, one of whom was pregnant.
I was in fourth grade, but it was a start. To find characters to illustrate my first family saga, I cut out models from the Sears catalogue.
