I love a good story
One with a mystery to solve, or a character I can really root for. It’s even better when the story comes to a satisfying ending – except when I don’t want it to end! I hope you feel that way too. Check out the projects I'm working on, and feel free to contact me. I'd love to hear from you!

Margaret always loved reading.
She wanted to be a writer, so she earned a degree in Journalism (News/Editorial) from the Ohio State University. The plan was to work for a newspaper until she got famous for her novels.
As fate would have it, she got a job writing computer software instead. It paid better and had better hours than reporting, so she stuck with it. Margaret eventually worked in information technology in Ohio, Florida, and Georgia.
She now writes fiction for kids and adults, and lives with her husband near Macon, Georgia. She has a grown child living in Ohio who does a lot of cool artwork. See if you can find it on this website!
Here I am, a cute little three-year-old.
Why I Write
There was always something to read around the house -- cereal boxes, Little Golden Books, the funny papers -- and someone to read to me, even if it was just Captain Kangaroo.
In kindergarten I drew lines and circles without understanding why. Eventually I figured it out, and was reading and writing on my own.
We were always great patrons of the public library, but it was a school librarian who recommended Little Women. Jo March was my favorite character, and she was a writer. Except for a few years when I thought I'd be an astronaut, I’ve wanted to be a writer ever since.
I studied journalism in high school and then in college. While applying for writing positions I threw my hat in the ring for a computer programming job, and fell into a lucrative career writing software and technical documents. Interview skills were used to elicit software requirements, and I spent long hours in front of a computer screen working on projects that often took months before a final product was revealed. (Sound familiar?)
It was creative work, though not the same as writing a good story. But here I am again, back where I started. It feels great to be home!
