The Adventures of Rynnie Roo and Tater, Too! Yucatan follows a kangaroo and her parakeet friend as they explore the Yucatan jungle and make new friends. What inspired you to write this story?

Thinking about my childhood after the birth of my granddaughter. 

I was raised in the Yucatán jungle. I thought about how different her memories would be from mine.

What educational aspects were important for you to include in this children’s book?

New vocabulary words, because growing our lingual pallet is a huge stepping stone, and confidence builder. Facts about new animals from other places, and of course dinosaurs. 

Are there any books or authors that inspired you to become a writer?

Not really inspired by them but I enjoy reading them. Since I write children’s books and I like crime fiction. We can say I have many layers. 

I collect Sherlock Holmes the old dusty books pre 1900. 

I find enjoyable entertainment in Perry Mason, Mrs. Marple, Murder she wrote, I’m an old soul when it comes to reading a good book. 

Authors: Sir Conan Doyle, Erle Stanley Gardener, Agatha Christie, Jessica Fletcher & Donald Bain. 

Where does the next book in the series take the characters?

We are heading to Alabama!
