Color outside of the lines!

I began my picture book writing journey when I was old enough 

to pick up a crayon, but somewhere along the way 

I lost my belief in magic.

When I searched for it again, I realized rather quickly 

most people scoff at the idea that magic all around and in us. 

So, I hid my way of expressing myself. 

I felt a sense of shame in my way of operating in the world, 

and the fact that my imagination was huge!

I've come to realize that telling and showing 

all these creative things that come to my mind is important.

I hope my stories and characters that have insisted on coming to life inspire my readers to live their magic out loud.

I write "children's" literature that focuses on celebrating individuality and the fun that ensues when unique characters come together. I enjoy using different writing and illustration techniques to tell my stories as I explore the intricacies of the magic of emotions. Reading books that address fear, curiosity, divergence, and acceptance with humor and colorful characters can foster confidence, trust, unity, respect, and joy.
