Alberta Helmes Dunn

I am the youngest of 8 children. I was born and raised in Covington, Kentucky. After the closure of LaSalette Academy, I attended and graduated from Holmes High School. I moved to California to attend college and pursue a degree in Child Development and Journalism. I was a Day Care Director for over 15 years and continued to write short stories, since it is my passion. My Husband, children and I reside in Louisiana. I am a Library Technical Assistant and I am inspired to write books for children. I am a recipient of the Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s “Cultural Contribution through Language Arts” Award from the Northern Kentucky (Covington) Unit. As a parent, educator and my love for writing, I hope that through my Books, I can encourage and inspire children to develop a passion and love for reading.
