About me:

I am a children's book writer with seven published books. I mainly write middle grade historical fiction but have also dabbled in picture books and young adult literature. My books include BRIDGING BEYOND, a 2002 IRA Notable Honor Book: PILOT MOM, a picture book, THE SACRIFICE, a Jefferson Cup Noteworthy Book, ALA BBYA Nominee, Virginia Readers Choice Nominee, Nevada Reader's Choice Nominee, A Great Stone Face Nominee, a William Allen White Nominee and a KSRA Young Adult Award Nominee: HEARTS OF IRON, a 2007 Winter Booksense Choice and BRAVO ZULU, SAMANTHA!, a Massachusetts Book Award Honor Book and an Agatha nominee, QUEST, a Cybils nominee and THE STORY OF THE SAMSON, a NCSS Notable Trade Book Pick.

Here is the trailer for my new book QUEST

Who I'd like to meet:

Johnny Depp (since he was the inspiration for Johnny Hudson in QUEST) - probably impossible! Abigail Faulkner - my great-great (times nine) grandmother accused of witchcraft in 1692 - dead, so definitely impossible! Anyone my girls are dating - also highly unlikely since I am insatiably curious! So I guess I'll have to stick with anyone interested in writing books for kids.
