Author Biography
Created out of a need for newer books in local preschools in Winchester, Virginia, a series of books featuring Deputy Knowles was born. Some of the Winchester City Sheriff's Office staff, Sheriff L. Taylor, Major A. Sibert, and Deputy Carter read to different state and locally-funded preschools in Winchester, and Deputy Carter saw the need for newer books at the schools. She in turn spoke with the Executive Director of the Winchester Area Literacy Foundation, Kim Herbstritt, about her concern, and Ms. Herbstritt suggested writing a book. Taylor, Sibert, and Carter took the idea and ran with it, and enlisted the help of one of the most talented authors known in the Winchester area, Jay Foreman. They were then blessed by a young, talented, and enthusiastic illustrator, Ms. Morgan Myers, who was willing to help, and thus began the creation of "Deputy Knowles Knows" and now "Deputy Knowles Makes a Difference". Our hope with all the proceeds of this book, is to be able to give back to the community through the Winchester City Sheriff's Office Foundation.
