BiblioBoard is a digital library platform offered by LYRASIS, a non-profit technology and services organization for libraries and archives. It provides libraries with a way to share digital content with their communities, including ebooks, audiobooks, images, and other multimedia materials.
BiblioBoard is often used in conjunction with the Indie Author Project, which provides local authors with the opportunity to publish and share their work.

From her Site:
I have lived in California my entire life. I currently reside in Calaveras County with my husband and two children. Although I had never considered myself an author, I always found myself imagining stories and wondering if they were worth writing down. After the birth of my two children, my creativity flourished, leading me to embrace this newfound calling.
I hold a Bachelor of Science in Biology and have extensive experience working with children and animals in various settings. I believe this unique background will greatly inform and enhance my children's stories.
With many stories in progress, I am excited to share my work with readers and hope to see my books on bookshelves near you soon. Outside of writing, I enjoy going on adventures with my family, whether traveling to a new place or discovering new ones in a book at the local library.
