Here are the books I have written that are not a part of any series. Descriptions and where you can order are listed with each. I have also included collections of stories by my creative writing students.
Don’t Leave Me Hangin’
Don’t Leave Me Hangin’ is a collection of short stories that leave the ending of the story for the reader to decide. It contains 40 short stories (enough for one a week during the school year and a few extra) in a variety of genres to appeal to every interest. While it is designed for English teachers and home school parents to use for “Free Write Fridays” (resources are included in the back), Don’t Leave Me Hangin’ is fun for readers of all ages to discuss what they think happens next and for writers to get their creative juices flowing. Have fun reading, but remember, don’t leave me hangin.’

I Teach for Free Entertainment: Tales from the Junior High Hallway
For years, I have posted “Teacher Stories” on Facebook. They are culled from the hilarious things I hear everyday as a junior high teacher. Now, I have the opportunity to share them with you. I Teach for Free Entertainment was lifted from my typical response to why I became a teacher. Yes, teachers make a difference everyday, and that’s definitely fulfilling (It has to be to compensate for the pay.) But, seriously, you can’t pay for this kind of comedy, tragedy, and–oh, yes–drama! So enjoy these samplings of the joy I receive everyday. And if you happen to run into me, you can join the hordes who shake their heads and say, “Your kids.” They are indeed.

Works by Students
Each year, I work with a new class of Creative Writing Students. We learn different writing styles, and they try their hand at each. Around March, they choose which of all the stories, poems, or articles they have written they want to include in the collection. They decide the name, create the cover, write the description, choose the format, and set the price. It is a huge undertaking for a diverse group of inner city kids, and I’m so proud of them. Each author gets a share of the sales.
Creative Writing Class Year 1:
This book is a collage of many different stories created by teens, and we created this book to show our writing abilities to the writing world. These stories that we created are in the form of Murder Mystery, Horror, Fun, Fantasy and so much more. This book is an expression of what we teens think would make interesting stories.

Creative Writing Year 2:
Art is not always colorful pieces of work, but stories full of imagination. They may not be vivid strokes of a brush, but the writing of words that paint their own story. Read as our short stories come to life through the work of literature.

Creative Writing Year 3:
This book showcases the proud work of outstanding high school students. These students, aspiring writers, put their skills to the test. As a class, they created an anthology of different stories they wrote throughout their school year at Thomas A. Edison high school. Within these pages, readers will discover a wide and wild range of genres they may want to explore. Each story is filled with meaning and creativity. These authors have bloomed throughout the school year, and this book is a living example.
