Welcome to my Web site! I hope you enjoy looking around and getting to know me and my work.
I have been involved in the children’s book industry since I graduated from college in 1985. After working as an editor at two major publishers, I became a full-time freelancer in 1996 and never looked back!
I love all kinds of children’s books, but nonfiction holds a special place in my heart. I’m so excited by the world around me—how things work, how and why events happened, who people really are—that it’s a treat for me to research and write about topics. I love introducing children to the amazing worlds of science, history, and biography and hope that I can get them excited about these subjects. I want my readers to see the stories in history, science, biographies, and other nonfiction subjects and realize that these subjects are not just facts and figures but exciting stories about real people and events. My books have covered everything from celebrity biographies to basic science investigations, and I’m always up for new challenges.
