Expressing myself through the written word also comes easily to me. These habits suited me well for a career in teaching, where I was able to share these interests with students and hopefully inspire them. My career path led me to chaplaincy and involved moving from Pennsylvania to Alabama, where I now reside. This story about the tooth fairy has been a long time coming. When my niece was a little girl, I wanted to create a gift for her that would mark a milestone in her life, and so the book was born. I hand-printed the original book and put its publishing on my bucket list. Now, being retired, I'm pleased to make that dream come true.view less
