About the Author

Once upon a time, I worked for a high-tech firm. What a crazy world that was for someone who, in high school, thought she would end up on Broadway as an actor or dancer! Instead, I somehow managed to achieve a very rewarding and successful career in Marketing Communications.

Twenty-one years later, I left that job for a brief jaunt down the road in the printing and publishing business. Then I got the bug to start my own business. For twelve years I ran a very successful Trade Show Marketing & Special Events Production company. My customers were most of the high-tech businesses you've heard of around the world. The travel was fun, but enough already! I really got tired of keeping my bags packed, and having to deal with overcrowded airports. So, my husband and I decided it was time to retire -- sounded great to me.

I spent several years as a volunteer for service organizations and as a mentor for middle-school students. One day, something wonderful happened. As if by magic, stories started running around in my head. They twisted and turned in my brain until I could no longer resist the urge to spill them out. Yes, ladies and gentlemen, this is how Granny Red Shoes was born.

Granny has recently published the second of her Granny Red Shoes Adventure stories, but there are many more to come. Every story has a special little fairy that adds charm and a touch of magic and helps teach a wonderful life lesson.

You'll meet Poppy, Daisy, Iris, Woody, Spike and many other fairies in Granny's stories. They all have special jobs and reside in Whirlywind Forest located near Somewhere, USA.
