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 kids laugh, fill them with wonder, and make them want to be lifelong readers. 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.
