Austin SCBWI

I’ve love being steeped in children’s literature. My learning curve began and quickly accelerated about fifteen years ago, when I served as the Austin SCBWI Regional Advisor for three years and worked at a local independent children’s bookstore, Toad Hall. Since then I’ve had a direct impact on the reader population, adding three more readers to the world. After years of writing, I decided I was ready to learn even more. I enrolled in Vermont University January 2009, earning an MFA in Writing for Children and Young Adults. My web of friends in the children’s book industry continues to spread. I love my Austin community.

I write picture books, early chapter books and middle grades.
