My Motivation

Two children holding books about needing chocolate and strawberry milk.

I am blessed with two hilarious and lovable kids.  They fill me with joy and inspire me.

Author Fairs and Book Signings

A woman and two children at a local author signing event with books on display.

One of my favorite things to do since publishing our books is meeting other authors, illustrators, and book lovers.  I am available for local author fairs and book signings.  

Readings and Storytimes

Teacher reading a children's book to young students in a classroom.

I truly enjoy sharing our books with others.  I am available for school visits and love reading during storytime.  I do not charge!
