About Me

Rita Monette, Writer: Most any day you will find me at my computer writing or revising—or I might be revising something I've already revised. I love to write children stories inspired by the people and places where I grew up— Louisiana—which is a most interesting and mysterious place. I am a member of SCBWI, MidSouth Region. They are by far the greatest.
