Welcome!

Hi, I’m an elementary school librarian who writes for kids. My first novel is Malcolm at Midnight, a humorous middle grade mystery starring classroom pets at midnight. It’s full of ghostly shrieks, school hijinks, instances of valor, the occasional cheese puff, and . . . footnotes. In 2009, it won a Society of Children’s Writers and Illustrators (SCBWI) Work-in-Progress grant. In fall 2012, it’ll be published by Houghton Mifflin Books for Children, illustrated by Brian Lies.

In the meantime, please take a peek around to see what else I’ve reading and writing.
