About Nadine
I am an elementary librarian at the Amanda Stout Elementary School in Reading, PA. I have been an elementary classroom teacher for 16 years in Reading before changing gears to become a librarian. I love, love, love my job!
I am married to the best husband in the world and live in rural Blandon, Pennsylvania. I have 3 sons. Ryan age 32, Adam age 21, and Aaron age 19. I also have two dachshunds. Wendy is 6 years old and Willow is 2 years old. You can see pics of them on this site.
I am a member and volunteer for Coast to Coast Dachshund Rescue. There are times when my house is filled with many wiener feet since I am a foster home for homeless doxies. Coast to Coast Dachshund Rescue is a national non-profit organization dedicated to rescuing dachshunds across the continental U.S. Please visit the link for more information. http://www.c2cdr.org/
I am a member of the Pennsylvania School Library Association where I act as a committee member for the Pennsylvania Young Reader's Choice Awards. I also have membership into the Society of Children's Book Writers and Illustrators. I write the monthly Children's Activity Calendar for Demco, the world-wide library supply company.
I signed my first book deal with Blue Whale Press for two fiction picture books. Both released in 2019. https://www.bluewhalepress.com/
I also have self published books about dachshunds that the proceeds go back to dachshund rescue groups.
Thank you Rob Gutro, author of Ghosts and Spirits-Insights From a Medium, for a glowing review.
