I have been teaching almost 40 years at high poverty schools in the rural South, and I still love going to work every day--usually!

"Notes from a Classroom" is a collection of essays about my students. "A Child's Book of Virtues" is a multicultural collection of stories and myths for intermediate readers.

I also write literary fiction when I'm not grading papers and writing a regular op-ed for The Charlotte Observer. "Why Women Moan In Bed" won the Norman Mailer Fiction Prize in 2012. Other short stories have been featured in regional journals, such as Luck, The Charlotte Writers Anthology, Main Street Rag, and We Are Not This.

For sci-fi and fantasy fans, "Orphans in the Black: A Space Opera" features 19 terrific writers (and my story "The Alien" is part of this e-book collection).

For fantasy fans, "Once Upon a Quest" is a terrific retelling of 15 fairy tales. Check out my story "Cat White" based on the French fairy tale "The White Cat."

For readers looking for a sci-fi fantasy mash-up, check our "Once Upon a Star." My story, "Candy House," is a sci-fi retelling of "Hansel and Gretel."

Phaedra's imagination and love of television and movie characters often rewarded her with strange looks at school. Her love of science fiction and fantasy blossomed when her cousin Cyndy gave her Anne McCaffrey's "Dragon Flight" for her twelfth birthday.

Other interests are manga, anime, gaming, hiking, waterfalls and spending time with her daughter and too many hours in Final Fantasy XIV.

Her series are The Eldritch Files, The Grimoire Chronicles and the Cast In Shadow Series, (now under the name Phaedra Weldon). There is also the Castle Falls Cozy Paranormal Series, the Women's Paranormal Fiction series named Ravenwood Hills, and she has just started her first Epic Fantasy duology (depending on how it goes, it might become longer).

She is also working on her first non-fiction book, The Writer's Garden, which has become a therapeutic journey into ideas, words, burnout and recovery. She's testing it out on her blog under The Writer's Garden.

I've wanted to be a writer for as long as I can remember. We moved around a lot when I was little, so I can easily pin down my age based on where we lived, which means I was maybe 6 when I first made this proclamation. My writing has changed quite a bit over the years, although I am still proud of the short story I wrote in 8th grade about an orangutan named Inconspicuous.

My writing focuses on characters. I've created stories about ghosts, clones, monsters, escape artists, mermaids, circus performers ... I'm all over the map. But in every single story I do my utmost to get into the minds and hearts of my characters. I love to put them in awful situations to see how they feel, and how they think. I want them to agonize over their choices, and I want what they choose - or don't choose - to matter. I want the reader to feel joy when a character succeeds, and to cry when they don't - just like I do when I'm writing the story.
