I love to write. It’s been my passion from about the time I was six years old. Recently I’ve enjoyed illustrating too. I’ve started to make a small but steady profit from my writing and I’ve been able to join a great writing group. Last month a charity in the UK bought...

The collaborative illustrated poetry book is ready and available at Amazon and other online stores now.

It’s been fun. I love that this exists and that I was able to make something awesome with a group of talented people I love. I’m also psyched to put some great kids...

Ending today the local grocery store is having a sale on 12 packs of Diet Dr. Pepper, 4 for $10. My husband has gotten into Diet Dr. Pepper since hearing a review of it on The Anthropocene Reviewed (terrific podcast) so he bought four. I mean, who can turn down that te...

I watched a Ted Talk today that I really enjoyed called Why People Believe They Can't Draw. Check it out. I certainly didn't think I could draw until I started illustrating these books.

I've started the next one; it's about negative numbers. Spoiler alert she gets to ze...

I'm doing something a little silly lately, which is I'm basically working on four book/writing projects all at once: One Singular Second, Goblin Lies, Multiplying Letters, and an as-yet untitled collaborative book of illustrated poetry for kids. I wrote quite a few poe...

My writing goals last year were:

One Audiobook—This was accomplished but a little late. The audio version of my book, Goblin Fruit, came out in January and is available now. http://amzn.to/2EWmf2D

Two Bookbub applications—I was really intimidated even by the id...

I'm starting a new children's book similar to 1% Clean: A Funny Story About Fractions and Percents. I'm not sure what I'll call it yet, possibly "Lester Lost his Marbles," or "Multiplying Letters," either way the subtitle will be "A Funny Story about Algebra."  Here's...

                It’s been a long time since my last blog post. I’m sorry. I can’t, however, promise to do better in the future.

                I heard a story about a woman who had a brain surgery fo...
