Autorenporträt
Dorenda Doyle is a retired educator of thirty years, having taught business and computers at high school and college levels, writing curriculum for two state education departments and serving in administrative roles. (M.Ed., Secondary Education; B.S., Business Management.) She was even a zoo docent (volunteer educator) for a few years at the Birmingham (Alabama) Zoo.Her first published book, How I Learned to Like My Mom, was a Best-Selling memoir in six Amazon categories in 2022.Since retirement, her zeal for education & literacy have been enhanced with a passion for grandkids (8), animals, and travel. With three rescues of her own (Shadow, Murphy, and Taco), she supports and advocates for animal rescue in her spare time. It was the influence of these passions that created THE KID & THE DOG children's book series (4 books published in 2023), which has won one Book Cover award (AllAuthors.com), and the series was just awarded the coveted GOLD Mom's Choice Award.In addition to writing, Dorenda speaks, reads, and presents at a variety of venues, including schools, libraries, and civic, service and community organizations.Her photography hobby almost always includes pictures of grandkids and animals, usually together. Biking and hiking take up the rest of her free time, with week-long bicycling trips being a yearly indulgence. Her bucket list includes visiting all 63 National Parks and biking a "century" (100 miles in one day; so far, 77 is her best). She and her husband, Jimmy, travel as much as possible with the entire extended family of sixteen, including her 92-year-young mom-in-law. It's these adventures on which she will base her future children's chapter book series, Adventures With Grandma.
