Her career as an author started when her 4th graders were involved with a project in Kidlink to write a mystery story with kids in Denmark, South Africa, and the Maryland Eastern Shore. Beaumont Publishing requested her and John Ost to write the Scribes Online series to teach students to utilize the computer to learn to write.
