Welcome to the Pond!  I am the Blond Duck, a whimsical writer by night and journalist by day.  Whether it’s stories of flying pigs and Ginourmous Lime green Unusual Gnats (GLUGs) or star-crossed ballerinas and cowboys, you can guarantee you’ll be entertained here at the Pond.

I must confess, I’m obsessed with peanut butter, waffles, French Toast, pies and all things barbecue.  I love to cook, though I’m not a creative chef like most of my Invisible Friends!  Most of the time, you can find me whipping up Mexican food, fried chicken or something really tasty and messy. And yes, I am a princess draped in pink and rhinestones.  Elle Woods is my idol.

I have a bad habit of dancing in public.

In my spare time, I dance spastically around the living room, play with my two Chihuahuas, Bitty and Bear, and pester my husband, Ben.

My Writing

I write children’s stories in middle grade and young adult fiction as well as women’s fiction.  In my Never Ending Stories section, you can read ongoing short stories I write, such as Twirl and The Gift.  In my Published Works section, you can check out my published books.  My goal is to write short, fun books for women and children to read.  Whether you’re at your kid’s soccer game or just lounging in the bathtub, you can be entertained by an adventure!
