Her short stories and poems are in various anthologies and magazines including Smarty Pants Magazine for Kids, Highlights Hello, Cabinet of Curiosities, Under the Full Moon’s Light, Babybug, Chicken Soup for the Soul, and more. Her picture book, SASSAFRAS AND HER TEENY TINY TAIL debuts June 8, 2021 and her YA Southern mystery, THE EXISTENCE OF BEA PEARL, releases June 15, 2021.

Happy Earth Day!

I rarely blog anymore. But it’s Earth Day and there are some really good eco-conscious kids’ books that I want to share so I’ll happily break my self-imposed absence for our amazing planet.
