Children’s books are magical things!

As a child, I would lose myself in a good children’s book, savoring each page in all its illustrative glory. Often I took more time completing a book than necessary because I would study every illustration closely before proceeding to the next page. By the time I finished a book, it felt like an afternoon had gone by, and I had the sensation that I had just come off of some big adventure.

Now that I create my own children’s books, I want to instill that same love, focus, and sense of drama in young readers, that I had when I was a kid.

With eight titles presently on the market, I'm now enjoying going out and meeting my young fans. I'm available for Book Festivals, Author Meet n' Greet Days for elementary schools, classroom readings, and retail books signings. Nothing makes me happier than seeing the expressions on the kids' faces as I read the text from one of my books, and it's icing on the cake when they recite a repeating passage along with me!
