Writing
books for children is a new career for me. I was a math teacher for 31
years! I taught in the Fort Worth Public Schools for 11 years and at
Fort Worth Country Day School
for 20 years.
When I was growing up, my family lived all
over the United States because my dad was a Navy pilot. I came back home to
Texas to go to college and earned a Bachelor's Degree (major in Mathematics;
minor in Physics) and Master's Degree (Education) from Texas Christian University. I
still live in Fort Worth. |

My
husband, Richard, is a former high school band director and
principal, and is now is the Public Relations Director for Burleson ISD. We
have three grown children, Christie, a teacher, Jason,
an engineer, and
Courtney, a marketing executive. A black fluffy
cat named
Tweeter
runs our house. Oh, and I have a precious granddaughter
Sophia Elizabeth Crummel, born
4-13-04 to my son Jason, and his wife Veronica. Sophie calls me
"GRAMMY." AND we have a new grandson
Matthew Jason Crummel, born
8-17-07!
