About the author

I grew up in Houston with an older brother and a younger brother and a large but close-knit network of aunts, uncles, and cousins spreading across the state of Texas. I graduated from Rice University with a degree in English, and earned my MFA in creative writing with an emphasis in writing for children from the New School in New York. There I was lucky to meet CAKE Literary founders Dhonielle Clayton and Sona Charaipotra, who started me on the Love Sugar Magic journey.​

I live in Houston with my dog Cisco. I have taught creative writing and high school English and currently work as a tutor for students of all ages across Houston. In my free time I love knitting, playing full-contact quidditch, and singing along to songs in English, Spanish, and American Sign Language.

This is an excellent version of Frankenstein for kids with learning disabilities. We enjoyed it a lot. Note that the ebook version does not have any of the illustrations. Get the physical book!

While I'm not typically a fan of short stories this one was surprisingly entertaining and a fun twist on the Frankenstein story. Again, I prefer longer more detailed stories but this one had a fair amount of detail and created mixed emotions toward the "monster".
