I’m a writer living in California’s Santa Cruz mountains. I write fiction and nonfiction picture books–some light and humorous, others lyrical with a pinch of darkness. I recently finished the first draft of what will hopefully be a silly, funny illustrated (by someone other than me!) chapter book. I want all my stories toengage young children, make them smile or laugh, and help them recognize and understand some new things about themselves and others.
When I’m not working on a story, I do a lot of reading, a fair amount of knitting, and perhaps not enough practicing on my drums. I am a member of SCBWI and Inked Voices, and I have taken several workshops through the Highlights Foundation, including attending the 2024 PJ Library Picture Book Summer Camp at Highlights.
