Tell us a little about yourself. In my forty years plus of working with kids, I've had experience with all kinds from those who struggled with their schoolwork and behavior to those who seemed to always get everything right. I've also worked with special needs kids and the deaf. All of those years in education and foster care prepared me to write the Keystone Stables Series. So much of the stories are based on actual events. God equips us all to do the work He has called us to do.
