Welcome to my website! I'm happy you're here.
I love books--fat ones, skinny ones, funny ones, sad ones--all kinds of books. This passion for reading and books began when I was little.  I never thought I would grow up to be a children's book author, but I'm so glad I did. It's rewarding, exciting, fun--(and hard work too).

There's much to explore here--how I first got published, what I do for author visits, tips on writing and getting published, fun activities to go with my books--and lots more. You can even look inside my books.

I hope you enjoy my site. But most of all, I hope my books add to your joy of reading!

        you fall in,
        delighted where
        you've never been..."
