My Writing....

My writings, including short stories, historical fiction novels and a memoir are available on Amazon.  Once downloaded the novel may be unlimitedly shared.  Each is set during various historical eras and characters live through major events occurring within the eras.  The stories are mostly set in the United States, and all are somehow connected to United States history.  Some are short chapter books, but not a difficult read.   Struggling readers will find them less daunting, and they are particularly helpful for older ELL learners.  I've linked a Common Core Standard's-Based Novel Guide and Organizer that I created to each novel image.  This is free to any educator utilizes these novels.  Also, I've gathered history lesson plans that relate to events within each novel.  I have them on my Social Studies website. I'm adding more as I discover them.  Feel free to download anything that you might find useful.
