Welcome!!  I’m so glad you found your way to this page.  I decided to start The Nightingale Tales as a place where I can share my stories, poems, and ideas in an open, and simple format.  I am a critical care nurse by day, and I have a site that is devoted to more adult themed, and nurse oriented tales (nightingale chronicles), but here I would like to focus on writing for children.  As you can see I use the word Nightingale in each website, I honor both Florence Nightingale (the founder of modern day nursing), and the beautiful bird known for its melodic songs, and inspiring tales .  I enjoy making up stories, playing with themes, and seeing what I can create.  There is so much inspiration out there for children’s writing.  I have found many great websites along the way that inspire writing for children, and honing in on the craft of writing which I will share throughout this blog, and please feel free to share any treasures you may have stumbled upon.  Once again welcome to The Nightingale Tales, I hope you enjoy your time here.
