for reading and creativity developed at a young age. Growing up in a
military family and moving frequently, books and art became a source of
comfort and escape. Later in life, she embarked on her writing career, grant
and technical writing, shortly after receiving her M.Ed. in Counseling. At
the same time, she continued to develop her passion for fictional short
stories, literature, and art, leading her to get an AAS degree in Graphic

first Children’s Book, Twiggy and the Lost Socks. Renée believes
reading and storytelling are powerful ways to connect with others and foster
a love of learning. Using a lighthearted rhyming style, inspired by nature,
Renée uses her colorful illustrations and writing to encourage
self-awareness, responsibility, positive relationships, and a solid
character.

children and supportive husband of 30 years. When not writing or creating
art, Renée loves to spend time with her garden, nature, the outdoors,
and her many fur babies. Hazel the Doberman and Milo the Ragdoll cat,
provide many hours of writing inspiration.
