I am an new author who is looking forward to many years of writing children's & adult books. She has always had a love of children and worked many years in early childhood education. During these times she witnessed the joy children felt as I would demonstratively read books. In addition I am an very active mom who loves to nurture not only her children, but those of family and community. I often have story time with those I love and cared for. I developed my story telling skills through the numerous books I read to children, this gave me an inspiration to tell my own story. Hakim and Terrance Shadow Mystery is the result. When I am not reading to children or involved in some other child nurturing activity, I can be found as a business woman online T-SHIRT store at http://www.cafepress.com/bernadine215 . I am available for interviews, book signings or public reading in schools and libraries. Also I have an online Radio show at http://www.blogtalkradio.com/girlpower
