The author is the Baroness of Time Travel, Duchess of Multiplication Facts, Countess of Fantasy, Headmaster of Reading and Ultimate Tour Guide of the Human Body. She loves to paint and color, create elaborate bulletin boards and fix up old furniture to use in the classroom. If she's not careful, she may one day find herself sailing off into the sunset on a pirate ship, as she has a deep fascination for the eye-patch wearing sea-lovers and a pirate t-shirt collection to prove it.
