Welcome!
Welcome to my cozy alcove in the universe – I’m so glad you’re here. I grew up in San Francisco where I read a book a day and scribbled stories while dreaming of creating that same magic I adored in books. During elementary school, my parents let me order lots of Scholastic Book Club titles and I saved every single book! So it’s an amazing dream-come-true to be publishing with Scholastic so many decades later.
I live in New Mexico with my robotics engineer husband and three sons. I adore traveling, other cultures — and anything old and musty and full of secrets from the past.
My four Middle Grade novels with Scholastic are set in the bayous and swamps of Louisiana, which has become a second home to me. I love the culture and history of the deep South. These books are family stories with magical realism, secrets, charm bracelets, ghosts, butterflies, and time travel back to 1912 with a cursed doll through 5 generations of a family. Each book is the story of a different girl from a small town called Bayou Bridge, but there are little *connections* between the books and a discerning reader (like you!) will delight in discovering who knows who and the relationships between these girls; Livie, Shelby Jayne, Tara, and Larissa and their families.
Sit down for a spell, drink an ice cold lemonade, and enjoy the wonder of magic and books!
