Because I love to take complex ideas and make them fun and eas-to-read, and also useful, I've focused on nonfiction. In addition to my books, I have written over 110 articles for various magazines including: Current Health 1, Current Health 2, Calliope, Scholastic Health Choices, Faces, In Motion, and others. I've taught cooking classes for kids, wrote a health textbook for Glencoe-McGraw/Hill, and edited 3 of their health textbooks for various grades.

Created and taught "Chefs-In-Training" enrichment classes for elementary school. Was keynote speaker for the American Red Cross, "Snuff It Out: A Conference on Youth and Tobacco." Have done voice-overs for educational materials.
