My newest books are the SUPERNATURAL RUBBER CHICKEN children’s series, Fowl Language , Fine-Feathered Four-Eyes, and Poultry in Motion. The first book got a great review from eight-year-old Andrew Oglesby on CNN here!
I have spoken about writing and publishing at many schools, libraries, and conferences the past few years. If you’d like me to speak at your school or event, please contact me. I love doing it!
I grew up in L.A., the second of four children. I’ve always loved to read and write. In high school I was active in drama and student council. But my biggest interest was boys.
I majored in Economics at Brandeis University in Massachusetts. Then I worked for a few years, waitressing on the graveyard shift at Denny’s, teaching LSAT classes, and pushing paper at a big insurance company where I wrote a lot of short stories. Shh!
Finally, I settled down, sort of. I went to UC Berkeley’s law school, worked as an appellate bankruptcy lawyer in San Diego, married, had three children, and wrote my first novel.
Now I’m a fulltime homemaker/writer in Orange County, California. Penguin has published five of my young adult novels, and Mirrorstone (owned by Hasbro) has published four of my children’s books. In addition to writing books, I write a humor column for local sections of the Orange County Register and how-to articles for magazines such as Writer’s Digest Magazine. I hope you enjoy my writing.
