Thank you for visiting my site. This is the place to come if you're interested in my books and upcoming events. If you've written a book yourself and would like help with that, try my other site YourBestBookForward! At YBBF I can help you figure out what it would take to get your work out of the drawer and into the world.

I'm the author of four novels, Mourning Becomes Cassandra and its sequel The Littlest Doubts, Everliving, and The Beresfords. In addition to the novels, I co-authored the  Zola-Award-winning children's picture book Mia and the Magic Cupcakes. For the Bellevue Farmers Market I blog as the UrbanFarmJunkie and have written Market-related articles for Bellevue Downtown Magazine, 425 Magazine and Bellevue.com.

Besides visiting local book clubs (do invite me!) and book stores, I have taught and spoken on a variety of topics for Seattle University, Stanford University, Foothill College, various churches, retreats, and MOPS groups.
