I’m a children’s picture-book author and former elementary school counselor with a penchant for puns and a fondness for fractured fairytales. My award-winning books include “What Really Happened to Humpty?” a Children’s Choice winner and one of Booklist’s “Top 10 Best Children’s and YA Mysteries of the Past Ten Years,” and “The Crown Affair,” a Children’s Choices nominee selected for the ILA/CBC 2016 Children’s Choices Reading List.
I’ve written several books to help kids and the adults in their lives address topics ranging from divorce to bullying. including”Don’t Squeal Unless It’s’ a Big Deal: A Tale of Tattletales,” and my two newest titles,”Big Red and the Little Bitty Wolf” and “There’s a Cat in Our Class!”
I’m lucky to have a job I can do anywhere there’s Internet service and a post office, so I have two places I call “home” — O’Fallon, MO, and Northport, MI. I also have two “office assistants” who can’t answer the phone or type worth a darn, but they keep me company while I’m writing in exchange for biscuits and beach time.
