Great News! I’m so very excited!
Thanks to great timing and incredible local support, The Curse of the Neverland is going to be used as the book club book for a new program sponsored by the Soroptomist International of Sequim in the Greywolf Elementary School for 4th and 5th grade […]
There’s vitality to be gained when you embrace your creativity. You know it!

I’ve returned from the land of Mermaids and Magic (my vacation on Sanibel Island in Florida last week) to the land of Murky Mists and Dark Days. Never fear! There’s inspiration to be had here as well, and fewer bug bites to boot! In fact, by that description, I may well have landed in the […]
