Published Work
Sam's Sister was published in 2004 and can be purchased at Amazon.com or Perspectives Press.
What's New? My latest published
works are two stories in the new Chicken Soup for the
Soul: Teens Talk Middle School. And one story in this month's new Chicken Soup for the Soul: Tough Times, Tough People. These book is now available in bookstores everywhere. |
I’m
exhibiting with SCBWI at ALA, Booth #1626 in Chicago on July 11, 2009, from 9am-11am. I hope to see you there!
After
the conference, look for my article all about it in the Fall issue of the Prairie Wind. http://www.intelligentlight.com/PrairieWind/
I am also busy with four new projects. The first is
a middle grade novel about about friendship and grief and loss. The second book is a collaborative non-fiction work about
sibling loss, written with the fabulous Lynn Price. And the last manuscript is a picture book about bird eggs. These are
all ridiculously different in content and genre but I hope they all lend something to their respective readers.
Last, I am working on a project about the artist Judy Chicago and her committment to women's history. This is an
effort I am particularly honored to be entrusted with!

Sam's Sister is a work
of beauty. The author and the illustrator have done an impeccable job of representing the emotional aspects of open adoption
from a child's perspective.
-Julie Jarrel Baily, Author of The Adoption Reunion Survival Guide
Thank you for publishing Sam's Sister. Recently,
I was working with a young woman with children. They were quite angry at their mother for considering an adoption plan for
her unborn child, their half sibling. Using Sam's Sister they were able to recognize the feelings of their mother and
instead of being angry at her, they were all able to grieve together. The older children ages 8 and 11 now trade taking the
book to their classrooms where their teachers have read the book to the class. It has helped their peers respect and better
understand adoption and show compassion to the family. Now the children are talking openly with their mother and no longer
see her as not caring about the child she's caring.

On 9/29/07, The 2007, Banned Books Event took place in downtown Chicago. I was overjoyed to be
in the presence of (and have a picture taken with) Chris Crutcher! Here I am pictured with Md. Critcher and the wonderful
Carolyn Mackler, both of whom are talented and prolific writers for middle grade and young adult readers. Chris
and Carolyn focus their materials on some of the more difficult issues kids face and are beacons of bravery in an
effort to bring materials to children that they can connect to, and find comfort in.
