I'm a retired teacher, with over 22 years of experience. I've helped thousands of high school students hone their writing skills.

A measure of my versatility is the fact that my partner and I established the first of its kind nursery business in Charleston, promoting, propagating, and selling native plants.

Here's a collection of some of the best-known Greek myths, retold in the engaging style of a storyteller. These tales are perfect for kids ages 8-13 to read and also for parent read-alouds. Memorable brightly-colored illustrations of heroes, heroines, gods, goddesses, and monsters from antiquity add to the book's charm and excitement.

Here's an engaging book: Deep South Native Plants for the Home Garden
In these pages, I serve as a tour guide on an imaginary bus trip through South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, and Louisiana. The goal of the journey is to identify a small selection of the thousands of perennial plants that are most at home in the Deep South.
This isn’t a comprehensive reference book though it does contain quite a bit of information. Deep South Native Plants for the Home Garden is written in a breezy, slightly playful style, with plant information and 35 color photos sprinkled with informal anecdotes. It’s light reading but it carries the weight of an important message. It’s more of a mini-guide to an A-List, a few fabulous native plant winners that can be planted at home by a beginning gardener, by a master gardener, or by anyone who cares about Mother Earth. By YOU, hopefully!

You love to teach and you love your students. Now perhaps, just perhaps:
You’d like to give your kids instruction in the basics of pollination,
You feel it’s important to introduce your kids to saving ecosystems,
You’d like an instructional unit that could easily involve the greater community,
You’re fine with kids learning by way of a hands-on experience (as opposed to screen time!)
You’d like to encourage a sense of responsibility for Mother Earth.
If any or all of these statements resonate with you, this little guidebook is aimed in your direction. In it the author walks through the steps necessary to create a pollinator garden at school. The book offers lots of suggestions that will allow you to move through the process smoothly even if you have had little or no experience as a gardener.
In addition, Pollinator Gardening with School Kidsincludes some valuable information about honeybees, solitary bees, and butterflies which might easily be the foundation for instructional units for students as a supplement to the garden project.
A pollinator garden can be a source of delight and can have a lasting positive impact on your students and on your local ecosystem as well. Get those kids outside! Dig a pollinator garden at school!

As a skilled and confident writer and speaker, I would be glad to help you with your needs for carefully written prose in a variety of contexts: articles, letters, or blog postings. I'd even be happy to assist by ghostwriting non-fiction or fiction.
I am also available to deliver talks to local organizations, promoting the use of native plants.
