Born in Cobleskill, NY in the heart of farm country it was my Grandparent's farm that set the scene for, "A STOPPED WATCH".  I married George Kleinberger in 1986 and in 1992 we moved to St. Petersburg, FL where we currently live with our two wonderful sons.

I wrote "A STOPPED WATCH" for my children, Calvin and Hans.  An avid reader of books myself, I wanted to instill in them a love for stories, a sense of adventure and the hope that they will never be afraid to use their imagination.
