WelcomeHi, there and thanks for visiting! This site contains information about me and my work. I'm the author of forty-one books for children, with more on the way. I'm also a freelance children's book editor (see my editing page for rates and terms).
I'm taking a break from teaching my 10-week children's book writing courses at NYC's Gotham Writers' Workshop so I can get my next book written. I'll post information about upcoming classes as soon as it's available. For general news, occasional rambling, and additional information, please visit my blog. I have also recently started playing around with Pinterest. I hope you enjoy looking around and that you'll come back soon to see what's new! 
The Princess of Trelian is the sequel to The Dragon of Trelian, so if you haven't read Dragon, you should read that first! Both are available from Indiebound or Barnes and Noble or your favorite online or brick-and-mortar bookstore. Ebook versions of both are also available. As always, I encourage you to support your local independent bookstore whenever possible! Here is a direct link to The Princess of Trelian on Indiebound. And here's a direct link to the Google books version of The Dragon of Trelian. It's also available in paperback, hardcover, and other ebook formats. ★ From the reviews: "Wonderful characters ... fluid writing .... Fans will eagerly await the climactic confrontation between forces in the next book." —The Horn Book "Engaging take on traditional fantasy." —Booklist "It is a pleasure to revisit two such appealing protagonists." —Kirkus ★ And see what other readers have to say so far on Goodreads.
