"Late in the Night"
This is a childrens picture book based on a poem
I wrote about things that go bump
in the night
(after you turn off the lights!)
Illustrating it was so much fun.
"Late in the Night" is scheduled
to be released pre- Holiday.

Why I create
I began my picture book writing and illustrating journey
when I was old enough to pick up a crayon.
But somewhere along the way, I lost my belief in the
magic of storytelling and I abandoned writing and illustrating
my little books in favor of other artistic pursuits.
I kept my stories to myself.
But, my characters with their poems and tales insisted
upon coming to life and I came to realize that the stories
about these amazing folks that "arrive" is important to share.
I hope the voices of all these magical individuals
that are so excited to show up,
inspire my readers to live their magic out loud.
My Hope
I am passionate about reaching readers that need a voice.
And encouraging communication and celebration with what we all may struggle to express or understand.
We need to keep talking, sharing, learning, and loving.
A great story book can start a conversation.
My process
I write "children's" literature that focuses on celebrating individuality and the fun that ensues when unique characters come together.
I see so many stories in the oddest of places and people. I love to "people-watch" and wonder about them and where they came from and where they're going. I have vivid dreams, I have characters (including humans, animals, trees and other creatures) that "show up" and want to tell me how they feel and what they experience.
I enjoy using different writing and illustration techniques to tell these stories as I explore the intricacies of how to tell them.
I want to create books that address fear, divergence, and acceptance with humor and colorful characters that foster curiosity, confidence, trust, unity, respect, and joy.
