 I
guess it’s simplest to say that even though I’m an adult, part
of me never really has grown-up. Probably the Frieda B. side of
me. The part that loves to laugh, to create, to swing and imagine,
and to get really excited about silly stuff.
(Speaking
of swings, I had the best swing as a kid. Loved it. That’s why
you see Frieda on swings a lot. A swing is a wonderful thing.)
Why
did I write Frieda? Well, my really good friend, Ann,
introduced me to the idea of Frieda B. years ago, and as I created
Frieda, I fell in love with her. Frieda B. knows who she is, and
she takes on the world by exploring what she loves.
What’s
my dream? To help you
believe in yours. That’s why I’ve written Frieda B. Herself.
You are extraordinary, unlike anyone else on this planet. Don’t
try to fit in. Follow your dreams and stand out.
Are
there other Frieda B. books? On my computer, yes. Published,
no. I’ve written additional stories about Frieda, and hope to
be able to publish them in time.
Do
I have a family? Yep. My husband, David, and I have two
boys, Hunter (11) and Garreth (9). We live in a quiet and wonderful
little town in Connecticut with our dog, Annie – who looks an
awful lot like Zilla – and our cat, Millo.

Me,
when I was 5.
I haven't changed much.
I still like to wear hats.
Fun
fact about Frieda B. Herself:
My two boys, Hunter and Garreth, are in the book. Turn
to the page of Frieda flying through the city at night and you'll
see them peeking out the window.
Here they are...
Our cat, Millo, and dog, Annie.
See where Zilla came from??
I collect quotes. Here's a favorite:
"Do all the good you can.
By all the means you can.
In all the ways you can.
In all the places you can.
To all the people you can.
As long as ever you can."
- John Wesley
