“Think of it as a Judy Blume novel for the fantasy-loving set.” *

What causes a thunderstorm? Is it warm air colliding with cold . . . or a grumpy magician with a grudge? My books are fantasies set in the real world, exploring life’s big questions but also the smaller, funnier ones.

This site offers information about my books and me, as well as background on themes and characters and my various activities. Get in touch if you have questions!

Writing Update:

I’m well into Draft #3 (also known as Major Rewrite #2) of my next middle-grade fantasy. It’s about a klutzy kid whose dad is a regular guy (also klutzy) but his mom is an immortal Death Guide who rides a horse and fights with a sword.

Wondering who he takes after? So is he.
