What's important to me? Kids and how they view the world. I'm an optimist, and if I have any goal at all as an author, it's to inspire hope. I like to write about diverse characters dealing with social or environmental issues and making an impact. I want my readers to be entertained, of course, but I also hope that at the end of reading one of my books they will be a little more aware of how they treat each other or the world around them.
I am a multi-award-winning author of Young Adult and Middle Grade books and PAL member of SCBWI. Primarily, I write contemporary fantasy, but I also love some realistic fiction and have even dabbled in romance.
I live near Nashville, TN and am a teacher in an inclusive classroom of typically developing and special needs children in an Early Intervention program. I called on my experience as a Special Education teacher and growing up with an Autistic brother in my new novel No One Needed to Know.
When I'm not writing or teaching, I might be found singing and acting in a local community theater musical with members of my talented family.

The Juniper Sawfeather Novels
a young adult contemporary fantasy trilogy
Juniper Sawfeather is a teen environmental activist. Join her as she discovers mythical creatures tied to the legends of her American Indian heritage while striving to protect the natural world.
"With its environmental focus, the inclusion of American-Indian mythology, and a young protagonist who knows her own mind and doesn’t bow to the whims of high school drama, the Juniper Sawfeather collection defined itself as an intelligent YA series from page one of the first book, Cry of the Sea." Books and Such reviews
"From the first book, Cry of the Sea, I loved Juniper’s character. I especially loved that not only was the protagonist a strong female teen, but she was Native American as well; two things that aren’t always easy to find in YA. Her pride and fiery character that had me hooked to the story and her struggles as not only a teen, but a teen of high-profile parents who were often under fire for their activist ways."
