Dear Friends,

Hello and welcome.  I’m so glad you dropped in!

I hope you’ll find something of interest here, something which inspires you.

Readers…thank you for the faith you entrust in me when you open one of my books.  With the myriad of reading and entertainment choices you have today, I am honored to spend time with you and am delighted by your e-mails and letters.

Librarians…thank you for adding my books to your collections and for discussing them with your students and patrons.  No book is read sitting on a shelf.  I appreciate all of the “book-talking” you do.  And how do you read so many?!?!? 

Teachers… thank you for discussing my characters/plots/themes with your students and for welcoming me into your classrooms.  I get to hang out with my favorite peeps and pretend to be a teacher – which is what I always wanted to be.

Booksellers… thank you for stocking my titles and recommending them to your customers, and for inviting me into your stores for events. 

Parents, grandparents, book-loving relatives and friends... thank you for choosing my books for the young people in your lives.  And I’m so glad you enjoy them too!

Reviewers… thank you for reading and commenting on my work.

Writers and artists aspiring to be published… catch those fireflies when they come and set those sparks on paper; show up on the page knowing that the work knows more than you do; write and revise, craft and revise, listen elephant-eared to editorial feedback; keep at it, surrounded by cheerleaders, and if this is truly what you want – trust that it will happen.  If you can dream it, you can do it.  Believe, Believe, Believe.

Here’s hoping our paths cross in person soon.  I wish you well on your journey.

And so off we go with friends to meet, and books to read, and fireflies to catch.
