Welcome!

Google Hangout alert! This time, Inspiration Laboratories' Trisha Stanley interviewed me AND the amazing Bethanie Murguia. We talk about series picture books. And getting dressed. And how giving kids the ability to choose things is important. And my dog didn't bark in the background, which is good.


This is where you can learn a little more about me, the books I've published and the books that will be published over the next several years. You can also purchase my books here. Check out articles I’ve written, my corporate writing experience, or see where I'll be doing author events. And I invite you to watch my book trailers if you're not familiar with my books. Please pour yourself a coffee and stay awhile!

If you'd like to schedule me for a book signing, school or library visit, receive book announcements, or just say hi, please send me an email. Thanks for stopping by and come back soon.

"Tons of trucks before our eyes,
in every color, shape, and size!

Big trucks
Scoop and dig trucks!"

autographed book plates


If you'd like an autographed bookplate, just send me an email. Bookplates are adhesive-backed stickers that I can sign and mail to you in a regular business-size (No.10) envelope with current letter-rate postage. Putting the sticker on the title page of your book makes it an autographed copy. I can send up to 5 in one envelope.
