I am a published author of fiction and nonfiction for both children and adults. Now that you've found me, I hope you'll stay for a few minutes to read about my writing—past, present and future.

You'll find information about my published work, suggestions for great reads, and helpful links for learning more about the writing and publishing process. Be sure to check out my blog for news about author events, upcoming publications and works in progress.

Currently I'm delighted to feature my new middle grade novel called Anna Mei, Cartoon Girl. Check out a special Anna Mei page for all the latest information.

I always love hearing from you, so please send me a note with your comments and suggestions, plus any news you'd like to share.
