The Just the Facts Bio (Perfect for those School Assignments)
- Born in 1976 in Minsk, Belarus (now you can put those math skills to use and figure out my age)
- Came to America in 1979 and lived in Brooklyn, NY (in an apartment that was crawling with mice and had boxes for furniture), then moved to suburban NJ in 1984.
- College: The College of New Jersey (then Trenton State College) in 1998 with BA in English and Secondary Education; later got elementary certified too
- Post College: MA in English, with writing concentration, from William Paterson University in 2003
- My first MG series is Chloe by Design, a fun book for fans of Project Runway and fashion lovers. Making the Cut, Balancing Act, and Measuring Up are the three books in the series. I am also the author of Capstone’s The Academy of Dance series. If you love dancing, you’ll love this book about best friends on a dance team.
