First, let me say - I didn't set out to become a writer. I was too busy running - literally.At fourteen, I was a competitive runner with my eyes on the finish line... until a friend (bless his clumsy soul) accidentally shattered my knee and my athletic dreams in one fell swoop. Overnight, I went from racing tracks to lying flat on my back, trapped beneath a fortress of blankets and a towering stack of Harlequin romances.My dad took one look at those bodice-rippers scattered across my bed, said nothing, and disappeared - only to return moments later, drop a book onto my lap, and declare: ""You need to broaden your reading horizons."" The book was Iceberg by Clive Cussler. And just like that, my fate was sealed. Dirk Pitt became my new hero. Adventure, mystery, danger - all danced off the page and straight into my imagination. While my knee healed, a new dream took shape: I wanted to whisk readers away on thrilling journeys of their own.So here I am: a writer fueled by a twist of fate, a determined dad, and the legendary Clive Cussler. And while I may not be sprinting down tracks anymore, I'm still chasing stories - and loving every second of the race.It means the world to have you here with me. May my stories spark your imagination as wildly as they've sparked mine.

Reviews for I Am Proud of Who I Am: I hope you are too (Book Nine)

""A wonderful way to introduce kids to different cultures. The letter format makes it feel personal and engaging."" ""This series is both educational and heartwarming. It teaches acceptance, diversity, and the idea that people everywhere share common dreams."" ""Perfect for classrooms and families. My kids loved learning about other countries while realizing how much we all have in common."" ""I wasn't sure what type of book this was, but after I read the first letter, I got more intrigued as I read more. It is very interesting to read about the different countries and facts presented in each letter by children. This is a great book to read to your kids to show them what other kids from other countries are like."" ""I am getting my passport out. Some of these locations appear so fascinating the reader can understand why its citizens have pride where they reside. Fantastic series."" ""I believe this is the second book I have read in the series. It is such a wonderful way to introduce different cultures and people through the eyes of different individuals. I get a sneak peek into other countries and a bit of info about that particular culture. Btw the guinea pig and lizard on the plate is a bit gross, but hey, different strokes for different folks.""
