One for Marjorie

Today’s book recommendation is Lucky Strike, by Bobbie Pyron—and it’s one for Marjorie. Marjorie grew up very near to where Lucky Strike takes place, in Paradise Beach, FLA.

“Losers and weirdos stick together through thick and through thin.” That’s the motto of Nate and his best friend […]

Writer at Work

Thought I’d give you the down and dirty truth of a writer at work. Nothing glamorous, sexy, or cool. Usually quite comfortable, however, and definitely consuming, challenging, and often entertaining (from the inside, not from the outside!)

My favorite place to work is sitting on my bed with my laptop on my lap. […]

Creating Creature Worlds

I get to be on a panel entitled “Creating Creature Worlds” as part of the Clallam County ComicCon, one of the amazing summer programs presented by North Olympic Library System. If you live close by, put it on your calendar: Friday, June 24th 3—4pm at the Port Angeles Main Library. Related […]

Unveiling Belle

It’s time for the third character poster!

Unveiling Belle, formerly Tinker Bell. She’s a fireball, opinionated, vain, and occasionally crotchety. As time has been passing in the Neverland, she now shows around 70 of her years—a fact she is not particularly happy about. Of course she’ll never stop trying to look hip!

Healthy Heroes

My long-held desire to be heroic got some satisfaction through writing The Curse if the Neverland – a desire every child (and most adults!) share. It falls in with wanting to be special. I’ve not met a human yet who didn’t want to be special. When we want to stand out, to be heroic, it’s […]

Piper Pan is Here!

I had a terrific time reading aloud from the book to those of you who were able to join in last Wednesday evening. I’m pretty sure that’s the first time I’ve read aloud to people over the phone. Kind of fun, really!

As promised, I’m unveiling the first of the coming 4 downloadable character […]

That’s my exciting news, that I couldn’t wait to share with you. The Curse of the Neverland is available for pre-order on my book website now — the button is on the right hand side.

The book will not be out by Christmas, but some gifts are worth waiting for…

Pre-ordering saves […]

Piper Pan Learns to Fly

In The Curse of the Neverland, Piper Pan struggles to learn to fly. Just like Piper, I’m landing some prize belly-flops in the process of bringing the book to publication. When it came to signing the contract with my local publisher, I “choked.” (Through no fault of hers.) I am in temporary suspended animation as […]

Endorsements for Piper Pan

Here’s what they have to say…

I have endorsements for Piper Pan and Her Merry Band Book One: The Curse of the Neverland! Finding the people to ask was a great reminder that while “celebrities” seem like a breed apart, when you really look around at the people within your circle and their amazing accomplishments, […]
