I write board books, picture books, and chapter books, as well as middle grade and young adult novels. I write whichever ideas stay long enough to become pests. I'm a prisoner of my own creative mind! Feel free to browse around, and do come back again soon. This website is a work in progress...just like me.
Pre-order Now: STRANDED, A Middle Grade Novel
One storm. One winter. One girl's fight for survival.
A contemporary My Side of the Mountain, Stranded is the story of Ava, a wilderness-hungry girl from Manhattan, whose journey in the Adirondack mountains becomes a nail-biting story of courage, independence, and survival.
In April 2023, Lena and the Burning of Greenwood: A Tulsa Race Massacre Survival Story was awarded the Oklahoma Book Award in the category of Children's and Young Adult Books.
