She is a member of the Society of Childrens Bookwriters & Illustrators (SCBWI) and is thrilled that her first book "Maxzyne Meets the Mannequins" won the 2020 Independent Press Award for Children's Fiction.

Who Knows?

I once met a dear friend's mother at dinner years ago. Like my friend, Hailey, she is very direct. Within ten minutes, she asked, "How in the world are the two of you friends? I just don't see it!" We both laughed, completely understanding her confusion. Hailey, a science-loving fashionista, exudes pluck and charm. She's also a very talented performer and the world is her stage. Whereas I am an introverted, right-brained writer, news junkie, and former bureaucrat. Yet we clicked! Each time we met, we found something else to like about each other and have been fast friends ever since. To me, she's one in a billion. And, thankfully, I was just cool enough to recognize it.

Book Excerpt

Maxzyne and the Old Horse Theatre

Wait! Is that Courtney Crowder in the second row? With all of the drill team from school?

Maxzyne trains her eyes on the blonde troublemaker, watching the girls chatter together on their bench. She smiles to herself, imagining their surprise to see her in the show tonight. They’ll know it’s me, right? For once she’s in the spotlight and not her rival. She remembers the sketch that Courtney took from her earlier. Maxzyne wants to blame her, but her conscience pricks. I was just showing off. Trying to be cool, like her. Her thoughts drift. Maybe now they have something in common. Who knows? They might be friends someday.
