WELCOME! I am author of twenty-five books for young readers, including history, biography, fiction, easy-to-reads, and historical fiction. Writing for young readers is the most joyful and challenging work I have ever done. In fiction it is rewarding to find that I can draw readers into caring about my characters and connecting with what they are experiencing and feeling. I enjoy researching and writing nonfiction because when something particularly interests me, such as an historical event or a person's biography, I have a strong urge to share the story. I believe that we make important connections with each other by relating and sharing our feelings and emotions. I like to say that I write from my heart.
I have also had stories and articles appear in magazines, such as American Heritage, American Girl, Seventeen, Highlights, and School Library Journal. I am a regular contributor to the Los Angeles Times Kids' Reading Room page. |
