NEW FOR 2009: Come visit
my BLOG! http://maribethboelts.blogspot.com
Thanks for visiting! Every life is a story, isn't it? I’ve been writing stories since kindergarten, and began writing for kids over 17 years ago when my own children were small. Lots of picture books and three children later, I enjoy not only the process of story writing, but also meeting kids and adults who like to write. There is no bigger thrill than talking with a breathless 10 year old who tells me, “I want to be an author when I grow up!” That excited glint in their eye reminds me that doing what you love to do, and leaning into how God uniquely created you, makes work interesting, fun and rewarding. Have fun checking out this site, and all the best as you do your own writing, reading and creating!
