"A book, too, can be a star, a living fire to lighten the darkness, leading out into the expanding universe." – Madeleine L'Engle

Thanks for floating by!

I grew up along the eastern shore of Lake Michigan in a town called Muskegon. As a kid, I loved riding bikes, playing in the school band, and camping with my family.

Unlike a lot of authors, I didn't start writing until I was an adult. I actually studied music in college. But after working with middle school and high school students for many years - and enjoying it! - I went back to school myself, and earned an MFA in Writing for Children and Young Adults from Hamline University.

These days, I live and write in Michigan, serve as a mentor for the Minnesota Prison Writing Workshop, and cherish time with my family. My middle grade novel-in-verse, IT’S LIKE WE TOUCHED THE MOON, will be published by West 44 Books in the fall of 2025.
