Whether you are looking for children’s books, poetry, or just a good story, you’ve come to the right place. As a writer who resides in Orlando, Florida I find inspiration in the abundance of nature nearby. I don’t need to go far to encounter wildlife. My state is a home for urban coyotes, alligators, and rhesus monkeys! A visit to Blue Spring State Park inspired me to write my new children’s picture book, Manatee School, which will be available this summer.
Manatee School (Abundance Books 2026) is a rhyming picture adventure about wildlife, wonder, and the the things grandparents teach us. For ages 4-8.
Buddy the Beagle on Blueberry Street (2019 Elk Lake Publishing) Buddy thinks he doesn’t need people until he breaks a safety rule and hurts himself. Unable to walk, Buddy discovers how much he needs everyone’s help to recover. A story of perseverance for ages 6-9 and book one of the Tales of Blueberry Street series.
Return to Blueberry Street (2020 Elk Lake Publishing) When a porch pirate steals Buddy’s Yummy Treats, the little beagle organizes his canine companions to track down the bandit of Blueberry Street. A mystery that leaves you guessing until the very end and book two of the Tales of Blueberry Street series.
Truckload of Trouble (2022 Elk Lake Publishing) Buddy’s life seems perfect until the family takes in a homeless Australian cattle dog who upsets the household. A story of friendship rounds out the final book of the Tales of Blueberry Street series.
