I taught first grade for nine years before I got my Masters in Information and Library Science. After I got it, people asked, "So, are you going to use it and become a librarian?" My answer? "Nope, not in a million years." I was happy teaching the little ones to read and write. A few months later, the media specialist in our school left, and, after some encouragement from my husband, I applied for the job. I ended up loving it- and writing for kids- because of it.

All throughout that time, people asked if I missed having my own classroom and I replied, "Yes, but I wouldn't go back into the classroom in a million years." Eight years later, I did. I missed it more than I knew.

There are so many paths life has offered me and I'm always surprised when I begin the trek on one I thought I'd never- in a million years- travel down.
