Welcome!  I am the author of the middle grade fiction books, BILLY'S FIRST DANCE and FUNNY PAGES. My new novel, set in the American west, is coming soon.

BILLY'S FIRST DANCE 
Thirteen-year-old Junie dreams of becoming a writer. Her youngest brother, Billy, afflicted with Spina Bifida and confined to a wheelchair, dreams of dancing.  Their quirky but loving family finds a way to stay together. Set in the southeast in the 1970s, BILLY'S FIRST DANCE unfolds with attention to family bonds, special needs and coming of age. 

FUNNY PAGES
Sally's grandfather is a retired cartoonist. He creates Marchmont just for her. FUNNY PAGES highlights Sally's family life and the fictional characters of the village, Marchmont.
