I've had MS for over 30 years. Mom’s Story, A Child Learns About MS is my first book for children and their families. I am a retired librarian, who is now an editor and freelance writer. My primary focus is on science for the public. I have chosen to extend my science for the public outreach to children.

I live with my husband in Fountain Hills, Arizona, and I have two grown sons.
