My second children's picture book, The Nightmare Bug, will be released in August! The Nightmare Bug is an empowering picture book showing a child taking control of their nightmares.

I write rhyming children's books and sometimes the rhymes just don't come as easily.

I've learned from experience that the idea will come back clearer if I step away for a bit. (less)

Finding Inspiration

Over the past three months, I participated as a Group Facilitator for the Society of Children’s Book Writers and Illustrators (SCBWI) 8 & Under writing group. In our initial meeting, I was blown away by the creativity and heart each woman brought to their own respective stories.
