In a small town in Central Pennsylvania you will always find me with my daughter hunting for stories. They tend to hide right in plain sight, and they are always easier to find when wearing the appropriate story-hunting clothes.

I've been writing since I could hold a pen and even though I often trade that pen for a laptop keyboard, I'm still a fan of pens of unusual colors that write very well. ​

In college, I studied English and decided that the best way to keep studying would be to become a teacher. I learn from my students every day, and we talk about words and how they can be pieced together to change the world around us.

I am currently working on a middle-grade novel about a place where the real world and the magical world touch. A member of SCBWI, I take writing classes, listen to as many authors speak about their craft as I can, and read as fast as I can because there are always new books appearing on my shelf...as if by magic.
