I am a passionate storyteller who enjoys creating emotionally led, uplifting chapter books geared toward younger readers, especially those in the Middle-Grade or YA age group. With my slice-of-life approach, and love of animals and nature shining through every tale, more mature readers are able to deeply resonate with the strong sense of realism depicted in my writing. Immersive, nostalgic, and wholesome – my focus is on crafting character-driven narratives that encourage greater reflection and facilitates more educational and discussion-based learning. I am known as a prolific children’s author who expertly weaves underlying lessons into each story with gentle simplicity and restraint, while keeping weighty subjects accessible and easily relatable to a wide audience. Well-known themes such as found family, increasing responsibility, friendship, coming-of-age, personal growth, resilience, and survival play key roles and appear across many of my increasing number of published works.
