What's important to me? Kids and how they view the world. I'm an optimist, and if I have any goal at all as an author, it's to inspire hope. I like to write about diverse characters dealing with social or environmental issues and making an impact. I want my readers to be entertained, of course, but I also hope that at the end of reading one of my books they will be a little more aware of how they treat each other or the world around them.
I am a multi-award-winning author of Young Adult and Middle Grade books and PAL member of SCBWI. Primarily, I write contemporary fantasy, but I also love some realistic fiction and have even dabbled in romance.
I live near Nashville, TN and am a teacher in an inclusive classroom of typically developing and special needs children in an Early Intervention program. I called on my experience as a Special Education teacher and growing up with an Autistic brother in my children's novel No One Needed to Know.
When I'm not writing or teaching, I might be found singing, acting, or directing in a local community theater production with members of my talented family.

Finding a costume to match a pet dog for Halloween isn't easy. You have to be creative. Some ideas are funny, spooky, or pretty. Getting the dog to keep a costume on is the tricky part.
Matching Costumes is a great picture book for infants-PreK, published by Huskies Pub and MacLaren-Cochrane Publishing, and illustrated by Cason Rome.
"Matching Costumes is a sweet and funny picture book for infants-PreK with a simple text Ideal for young readers and beautiful colourful illustration that manages to capture the little girl's feelings." Let's Talk About Children blog
"I enjoyed reading this adorable story about a girl and her dog. I felt her struggle trying to find something that her dog would be okay with wearing. All of my dogs give me trouble when I try to put anything on them. It's a very easy read but the illustrations go perfectly with it and in a lot of cases, they tell us what happens without even needing the words to say so. Both characters are very likable and a child could easily relate to the tale. I found Matching Costumes a nice fun read. D.G. Driver has done an excellent job with the story, while Cason Rome has created beautiful artwork that fits perfectly. It's a book I would recommend to friends of mine with children." Reader's Favorite, 5-star review
Read this great blog post that is both a review of Matching Costumes and also offers great Halloween lesson plan activities for language development and the cognitive skill of matching.
