Newsletter And Press

Happy Valentine's Day everybody!

New book is coming out!

My fourth book “Messy Marvin” will be published April 6, 2025! I will give you reminders before it is published. 

Exciting news!

I will be starting a Kids YouTube Channel.  I’m just starting to practice reading my books in front of the camera. On the channel I will be reading my books along with other children’s books that I love. There are so many best selling children’s books out there and don’t get me wrong they are really good. However, I have read tons of children’s books that are just as good. Going to the library and choosing about 10 random children’s books is something I do about once a month. I’d like to encourage everyone to go to their library and choose some random books to read to your little ones and not only the best sellers. Once I have the YouTube channel up and running, I will give you a heads up!

upcoming book

Happy July everyone! I hope you had a fun and safe 4th and are enjoying your summer. 

Flight Of The Dandelion Books

I’m on the hunt for a watercolor illustrator for my upcoming book, Flight of the Dandelion. The cover isn’t final yet, as I’m still editing. The story follows Dorothy, a whimsical little dandelion, sharing her journey from a tiny seed.  Aiming for a September launch—stay tuned for updates! This will be the first of a series of Flights. Watch for my next books, Flight of the Butterfly, Flight of the Dragonfly, Flight of the Hummingbird, and Flight of the Bee coming in 2026!  

Remember to build your child’s bookshelf with a variety of books. If budget is a concern, shop at one of the many used book stores. Also, visit book fairs to buy and talk with the authors. We LOVE to talk about our books and meet new people! Here are a few books I recommend: 

 

The Good Egg 

Inside Mouse Outside Mouse 

Five Little Monkeys Jumping on the Bed 

Dragons Love Tacos
