Hello!
I’m the author of middle grade novels, nonfiction picture books, regional biographies, and educational series (some written as my alter ego, W.H. Beck). Despite writing across genres and age levels, my books all celebrate the natural world with a dose of mystery and pinch of humor. They have been honored by state and regional awards, the National Science Teachers Association, Junior Library Guild selection, and best-of-the-year book lists.
When not writing, I teach in a high school library in Wisconsin. And in between writing and teaching, I love to read, make art, travel, walk my dog, and explore the outdoors.
