Peggy King Anderson's most recent writing project is a monthly story series titled Starbird Ridge, currently in Pockets Magazine. Her book, The Fall of the Red Star (co-author, Helen Szablya) was featured on Children's Book TV this past October. In addition to The Fall of the Red Star, Peggy is the author or contributor to four other published books for children. (Safe At Home, First Day Blues, Coming Home, and A Horse's Tale.)
She frequently writes for children's magazines. Her story, "The Long March," about the 1838 Potawatomi Trail of Death (forced Indian removal to the west) appeared in Highlights for Children in the fall of 2002. Her story "Scaredy Cat" ( a story dealing with children's fears in the aftermath of 9/11) is currently online on Pockets Magazine website,
She has taught creative writing to adults for over twenty years both in community college classes and at writing conferences. She also teaches creative writing in the schools on a contract basis, all ages from Kindergarten through High School.
She is sometimes accused of being a cheerleader in her workshops, but then, that's not all bad!
