Author Interview with Bitsy Kemper

Author Bio Author of soon-to-be 25 books, odds are you've seen Bitsy Kemper on CNN, heard her on national CBS radio, seen her quoted in everything from Parenting Magazine to "Writing Children's Books for Dummies" or read her work in countless newspapers, radio and TV stations across the U.S. Maybe you drove past her on the freeway and didn't even know it... She earned two undergraduate degrees (one in Economics/Marketing, one in Communication/Theatre) and a master's degree in business (M.B.A.). Learning is fun! After spending entirely too much time of her early career in the computer industry as a PR and Marketing manager, she helped create and drive a national program to help parents feel less afraid of technology. When blessed with mommyhood, she focused on the family. She's been writing for children ever since her kids became obsessed with the frog living in the discarded pink sneaker outside their front door (honestly, some books write themselves). "Mommy & Me Micro-Moments: 5-Minute Devotional Activities for Moms and Kids" is her latest book, and the one of her heart. The more people buy it, the more likely she'll write Part 2! (hint hint) (ha ha) Find more detail than you need at BotsyKemper.com. Her bio can be summed up in two words: "Write on!"
