For as long as I can remember, I’ve loved books. Any chance I could get, I was reading. Books felt like forever friends and filled me with joy. I’m passionate about writing stories that make children laugh, fill them with wonder, and create in them a lifelong desire to read. When not writing and reading, I enjoy attending church with my family, camping, hiking, gardening, collecting beach glass, and trying to beat my kids at board games and Mario Kart. Unfortunately, I rarely succeed at the latter.
