A Little About
Myself.

I write picture books for children, inspired by the magic of nature and the fascinating human spirit.

I live in Venice Beach, CA with my husband and two daughters.

I graduated from Middlebury College and attended the Radcliffe Publishing Course.

For seven years I produced, wrote, and directed shows on VH1, MTV, MSNBC, and the Discovery Channel in NYC.

My dad is a retired marine biologist and my mom was a YA librarian in the Bronx in the '70s.

I'm represented by Victoria Wells Arms, and I'm a member of SCBWI.
