Figuratively; there are no mountains in this story. ENJOY!

The Mistake Artist: Part One Mar 17, 2019

I am thrilled to share a brand new story with you after months of hibernating...er, daydreaming and writing. The Mistake Artist is my very first two-part story and I think you will love it. It features a little girl who is a bit of a perfectionist about her art, and a magical being who takes the girl's "mistakes" and showcases them as things of beauty in her faraway realm of magical beings. Tune in next time for part two of this story and hear how Em learns to reframe her mistakes as opportunities.

Ava Takes The Moon: A Rhyming Story for Kids Sep 16, 2017

Ava Takes The Moon is another children’s story about BIG feelings and the lengths we may go to in order to assuage them. Why are so many of my stories about big feelings? Because our feelings impact every aspect of our lives, and tiny people are often overwhelmed and fearful of their own strong emotions. Why do people ask and answer their own questions? I’m not sure. It’s a very odd habit.
