I grew up with three brothers and three sisters, as well as a plethora of pets, and I frequently draw inspiration for stories and poems from my childhood exploits (and misadventures). My current daily routine also serves as a source of inspiration for my work. For example, my first novel, Jackson Jones and the Puddle of Thorns, grew out of a small plot in a city community garden where, like Jackson, the protagonist, I seem to grow more weeds than flowers. The hamster in Jazz, Pizzazz, and the Silver Threads is based on a number of mischievous hamsters that exist in real life. My husband's experiences as a kid magician inspired Jenny's magic blunders in Jazz, Pizzazz and its upcoming sequel, The Magic Squad and the Puppy of Great Potential.

And all of the poems in A Year on My Street are inspired by people and events in my area, from feeding pigeons to listening to the saxophonist. I worked as a research writer/editor for Children's National Medical Center in Washington, DC before becoming a freelance writer. I now manage Arts Project Renaissance, a creative authoring program for older persons, and teach creative writing workshops to people of all ages at local schools, libraries, and Georgetown University's continuing education division, in addition to writing children's books. The inaugural annual Marguerite de Angeli Award for middle-grade fiction was awarded to Mary Quattlebaum's debut novel, Jackson Jones and the Puddle of Thorns.

Jazz, Pizzazz, and the Silver Threads, as well as its companion, The Magic Squad and the Dog of Great Potential, due out in March 1997, and A Year on My Street, a First Choice Chapter Book for younger readers, are among her other works. She graduated with a B.A. with a B.A. from the College of William & Mary and an M.A. from the University of Virginia Georgetown University is where I got my bachelor's degree.

She has been published in Children's Digest and Ladybug, as well as various literary magazines, and is a recipient of the Society of Children's Book Writers and Illustrators' Novel in Progress/Judy Blume Grant. Her husband and she live in Washington, DC.
