I read and write lots of funny, adventurous, & heartwarming books for kids, tweens, and teens (and even a few romantic comedies for adults, too!). I always love book recommendations, so please send them my way. I'm partial to contemporary romantic comedy, funny/original voices, quirky characters, and kids' books with humor and heart.

The first book in my new series - THE GREAT PEACH EXPERIMENT: When Life Gives You Lemons, Make Peach Pie - is a Junior Library Guild Gold Standard Selection and is available in stores now!
