You've found my online home—a place to read about both my work and
the craft of writing. All the news is here, including the latest about my middle-grade book series, Anna Mei. You might also enjoy visiting my blog, where I explore the Sweet, Simple Things that make up everyday life.

In addition to books for children, I've published stories, articles, poems and plays in magazines, book anthologies and testing materials. My work for adults includes essays in several Chicken Soup for the Soul collections.

When I'm not writing I'm still immersed in the world of books, working in the public relations department of a large district library system.

Please take your time browsing through these pages and getting to know more about me and my work. And feel free to send me a note with your comments and suggestions—I'd love to hear from you!
