She lives in Candia, New Hampshire, with her husband, Don, and BB. The three often travel together in their RV.

Desert Danger!: Lost and Alone
An action-filled page turner that will have you on the edge of your seat!
A triumphant story for all ages, inspired by a true story about pet rabbits abandoned by their owners in the desert, and the girl who saved them
Bonus activity pages at the end with photos of the real rabbits, comprehension puzzles, a map, and coloring pages
The desert is a dangerous place for a pet rabbit. When a game of hide-and-seek goes wrong, BB (Black Bunny), a timid rabbit, finds himself alone and lost in the night desert. Without his mischievous brother, Bugsy, to rely on, he must trust himself to find a way home to his family. Along the way, BB braves strange animals, bullies, predators, storms, and a world full of challenges. Some animals bring friendship, while others bring ill will.
Readers will laugh out loud at the quirky characters, like Randy Roadrunner, and they’ll fall in love with the petite cottontail bunny, Marielle, who is strong and smart. They’ll cheer for BB as he faces adversity on his quest to find his home and marvel at the girl who saved hundreds of abandoned rabbits.
An exciting adventure, Desert Danger! Lost and Alone celebrates animal welfare, loyalty, self-reliance, friendship, and courage. A perfect read-alone or read-aloud for home or classroom, it weaves suspense and humor with lessons of kindness, compassion, and courage.
