She is a National Board Certified teacher with a career of teaching grades K-12th in the areas of reading, special education, language arts, math, social studies, and the profoundly handicapped. While teaching overseas in Hohenfels, Germany, she traveled extensively throughout Europe. Her first series deals with issues she saw in her class. She looked at her students in her classroom and wrote her book with video gaming, computers, texting, technology, virtual worlds, bullying, cyberbullying, tolerance, and fitting in issues. Her book is a story of friendship. The hero Newt using a wheelchair discovers what friendship is about and how to deal with bullies. "The Big Wheel" is a dystopian story. Womble decided to write about her experiences in Bavaria in this book using her firsthand accounts of the setting to weave a tale about a society long separated that has to find a way to work together again. Parts of the story deals with indentured servants, royals, slavery, the 'haves' and 'have nots'. Some people who have flaws are deemed Undesirable and labeled as such while others are branded as Uncounteds and are under the control of the mercenaries who sell people as slaves. Quarantined because of a virus outbreak twelve years this new society forms and communications are restored. It is a fight between the "royals," the society of island people who control the root that cures the virus and the mercenaries who want to control everything and everyone. A small rebellion for democracy begins in a tiny farming village and spreads quickly throughout Bavaria and then to America.
