My Work

I also write for children's magazines. Here are a few of my articles and poems that have appeared in popular publications.

	Next Step Magazine :  A publication mainly in school guidance offices about career choices. Read my articles: careers with animals, careers in health, careers in law and careers in education.		Ladybug Magazine:  A publication for children ages 2 through 6. Read my poem called, "Tiger Kitty" on page 34 and see how much fun kitties can be!
	American Careers Magazine:  A publication mainly in guidance and academic areas. Read my career feature about Global Information Technology: A challenging, demanding and rewarding career path.		Highlights Magazine: A well-known children's magzine for kids ages 2 through 12. Read and make my tasty ladybug activity that is also a healthy snack.
	Moo Cow Fan Club: A magazine in which my issue focuses on Australian Animals. My non-fiction article, "EE-Moo" is about Australian Emus. Did you know that emu dads sit on the eggs their mate lays. They don't leave the nest for anything. Not to eat, drink or poop!		Hopscotch: A magazine for girls. Read my non-fiction article, "Down Under Dad" also about Australian Emus. Sheena Knowles book, "Edward the Emu" inspired these articles about flightless birds.
	Boy's Quest: A magazine for boys. The issue I focused on is all about dirt. Read my non-fiction article, "Little Hidden Secrets" and see what treasures you can find in a little dirt!
