About Me
As a children’s and YA book editor for nearly 20 years, I’m passionate about stories that spark kids’ imaginations and turn them into lifelong readers. In my own writing, I’m drawn to funny stories that play with perspective and encourage readers to create and explore and think about the world around them from a fresh angle.
When I’m not lost in a book, I love to hike in the woods, swim in extremely cold lakes, and dabble in arts and crafts of all kinds. I also sing, write songs, and play guitar in a country band.
I live in Eugene, Oregon with my husband and step-son, as well as a daredevil cat named Brisket, a highly destructive bunny named Milo, and two hives of honeybees whose diligence and productivity I hope to one day match.
