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. |

(married to Gif Summers). I have 3 grandchildren:
