I am so excited about releasing my first ADULT NOVEL! It's both a historical novel and a contemporary story in which the main character unwittingly and reluctantly uncovers the greatest secret of the American Revolution! The trouble is, no one wants to know it! The book is called Neither King nor Country! Scroll down to click on it!

This story has been years in the making! It is a reflection of an incredible historical and personal journey I have been on in which I uncovered one of the greatest secrets in American History and I can't wait to share it with everyone!

My entire life has been dedicated to making history fun for adult and child alike. It started personally as a child fascinated with George Washington, the Revolution and growing up only an hour from Boston's Freedom Trail. As an adult I eventually became an award-winning teacher and author with more than 25 years of experience bringing stories to life.

I was extremely fortunate to win the most prestigious awards of my profession. They include:

The 2002 Daughters of the American Revolution Nation-wide Outstanding American History Teacher of the Year.

The state of Florida 2002 Outstanding American History Teacher of the Year.

The Gilder Lehrman 2006 American History Teacher for the state of Florida.

The 2004 Outstanding Educator of the Year in Pinellas County (a county of over 8,000 teachers).

The 2001 Florida History Fair Teacher of the Year, and a Finalist for the 2001 National History Day Teacher of the Year.

Finally, I was recently presented with a lifetime achievement award on the 20th anniversary of Pinellas County History Day; a competition that he started in 1999.

I began my writing career as the author of the Young Heroes of History set of novels: a historical fiction series for children. In addition I have also written a non-fiction book titled “I Love History but I Hated it in School” as well as numerous articles for various publications over the years. I will always be the most proud however, of my three beautiful adult children who are all finding their own paths to success.

A transplanted Yankee, I completed my Master’s in Education at the University of Massachusetts in Boston and received my Bachelor’s in history Cum Laude from Brandeis University in Waltham, Mass. I currently teach History at East Lake High School in Tarpon Springs, Florida. ...more
