Other books of mine are about history. I didn't particularly like history when I was a kid, but I have since discovered just how much adventure, mystery, and amazing people can be found in the past if we go looking for it. I find doing the research is like being a detective and the journey toward completing a book is always chock full of interesting characters, places, and experiences. In the end that is exactly what I want to give the reader.

In addition to writing and illustrating, I am a founding member of the Children's Author's Network! (CAN!) and a member of the Society of Children's Book Writers and Illustrators (SCBWI). I also conduct school and library presentations, teacher in-service workshops, and have taught writing and illustrating children's books.

My favorite advice to anyone who wants to write children's books is READ!
