I have always wanted to write this book, ever since the Tooth Fairy failed to visit our house when my kids were little. There is so much guilt involved in that as a parent and such disappointment for the kids. I asked many other parents if this has ever happened to them and most said YES. I wrote this book to ease the minds of all the parents who think they've failed and all the kids who think the tooth fairy forgot them. It is a funny book, with amazing illustrations, but it is also heartfelt and endearing.

If I get an idea and it's the right one I know it. I do not TRY to write. I have the privilege of only writing what really appeals to me as writing is more of a hobby to me. And then I put my heart and soul into the book and everything that follows.

I am in the process of promoting my new book, Tooth Fairy, You Have Some explaining To Do! It's about the night the tooth fairy did not come. I love this book because it addresses a fact of life, a disappointment, and it does it in such a way that everyone involved walks away feeling good. The child and the parent.

Find your voice. Find a way to write (speak in written form) that pleases you. Don't try to write the perfect book and don't try to write a best seller. Just write from your heart. It will be authentic then. Not everyone is going to like your work but that's okay. If you try to meet people in the middle but still stay true to yourself you will grow as a writer.

I love writing. I love creating. And I even love marketing my books! It's the most fun ever.

Not very well! I eat. I go on a walk. I play on social media. I am easily distracted, so I have to just wait it out. When I get inspiration I'll work all day and night so it evens itself out.
