My many years of teaching fifth graders have helped me develop a love of good fiction for kids. I want to write books that fifth graders through adults will find entertaining, quirky, and exciting.

My writing is also heavily influenced by some of my favorite children's books and writers, just to list a few: pretty much anything by Neil Gaim more...
