Greetings, fellow readers, book lovers, cat aficionados (and everyone else!)
​
As a child, I believed that nothing was better than reading. I was one of those kids who always had my face in a book. Walking, eating, brushing my teeth- it didn't matter. I just had to find out what happened next! Reading was my superpower and my safety portal. I read Charlotte's Web, A Wrinkle in Time, and Peter Pan until the pages fell from the binding and then taped them together to read again.
​
Once I had a few years under my belt, I started telling my own stories and writing them down. I started creating plays for my brother and me to act out for my parents. Early playwriting led to a still-burning passion for theatre. After many years, I discovered my sweet spot: writing books for children. I love telling stories that entertain, delight, enlighten kids, and show them how brave they are.
​
I write middle grade novels and picture books. My next project is a novel for young adults.
