Rhonda's Story
Though I moved from Cahokia (IL) the summer before my senior year, I still consider Cahokia High as my "main" high school. I have lots of fond memories from there. I actually graduated from Boone County High School in Florence, KY.
Re college, I went to Georgetown College (KY) my freshman year, then transferred to Northern KY University where I received a B.A. in elementary and special education. I later got my master's in educational media at Xavier University in Cincinnati.
I was an elementary school learning disabilities teacher out of college, but now feel very lucky to be a children's book author. It took much passion,...Expand for more
persistence, and patience to get published, but it was worth it. I also speak at schools, libraries, and conferences across the country. I've been represented by Curtis Brown Ltd. literary agency in NYC since 1996.
My website and books are under Rhonda Gowler Greene. I'm also on Facebook and Twitter at 'Rhonda Gowler Greene.'
In 2009, I had a great trip back to Cahokia when I did some author visits at schools in the area. I got to visit and have dinner with some high school friends while there. It was so much fun to reunite with friends I hadn't seen in so long (some for over 30 years!). I hope to go back again sometime.
