Welcome!
As an author and illustrator catering to young readers, I love creating unique stories FULL of heart and adventure!
In "Cal and the Search for the Seal Folk", a thirteen-year-old girl with ocean-like beauty and uncontrollable magic discovers her true identity and the evil threatening to destroy her new-found family and the island community.
"The Pesky Powder Monkey" is a picture book story that tells a tale of two boys on a whaling ship. The youngest boy, the Powder Monkey, is in charge of carrying the gunpowder to the ammunition crew. The older Cabin Boy avoids the younger "pesky" one, who only wants to be his friend. But an accident on the ship leads to tension among the crew. How can it be resolved? The Powder Monkey has an idea!
In "A Tale of Tailless Friends", Mola and Dilly are two hungry ocean sunfish searching for food when a sudden thunderstorm whips up the ocean around them. Frightened, Mola and Dilly must trust each other to ride out the storm safely. This S.T.E.A.M. adventure will engage readers through participation with the story's narrator, Clam.
A wren is not always a bird. In "Wren's Colorful World", it is the name of a little boy who loves wearing many colors and pretending to be "flying" and "fluttering" his feathers in the sky. On his first day at pre-school, hurtful words crush Wren's feelings and diminish his colorful imagination. From this, Wren learns that kindness outweighs angry actions.
