I’m an Author-Illustrator currently based in Atlanta, Georgia. For 15 years, I wrote stories in the form of songs that were licensed for TV, film, and commercials for clients including Burt’s Bees, Coca-Cola, Oakland A’s, HBO, MTV, and FOX. Writing and making art for children’s books has been a natural progression of that storytelling.
I’ve always devoured books at a fierce pace, but once I became a mom (to 2 spirited boys), I fell deeply in love with children’s literature, savoring the time spent curled up together on the couch poring through a giant stack of library books.
​
I’m passionate about inspiring children to tell their own stories, to know the pure magic of getting lost in a book, and to value the power of wonder and imagination.
I’m a member of SCBWI and the 12x12 Challenge, and I’m currently seeking representation.
When I’m not writing and making art, here are some things I’m into:
​
-
Drinking iced tea
-
Being outdoors with my family
-
Obsessively consuming virtual classes and webinars
-
Screaming loudly on rollercoasters
-
Consuming all varieties of winter squash
-
Watching Lord of the Rings and all things epic fantasy
-
Getting annoyed with my husband for picking up furniture from the side of the road
-
Sitting on the outdoor couch that my husband picked up from the side of the road​
