Books
I am the author of more than forty children's books. In addition to my award winning creative chapter book series entitled BLAST TO THE PAST, I have also ghost written for a popular girl's mystery series, published non-fiction texts, and penned a young adult romantic comedy called IN THE STARS. I love writing and one of my thrills has been to work on junior movie tie in novels for summer blockbuster films, including BATMAN, THE DARK KNIGHT, the #1 New York Times Best Seller: CLOUDY WITH A CHANCE OF MEATBALLS JR. MOVIE NOVEL, and THE SMURFS MOVIE NOVEL. I live happily in Irvine, California with my three fabulous children.
