It all lines up, hooliganism and heart. Through all the losses and joys, we play.

Spanning adventure novels and picture books for kids as well as adult non-fiction, my books wander from pirates to grief to silly monsters, forest sweetness, and now to love. They all circle the same question: Through everything life throws at us, how do we keep trying and laughing?

Lori Rubin Gross gifted me pure sunshine when she said my first book was, “…a rollicking, rowdy hoot with humor akin to Roald Dahl and evocative language that echoes Goldman’s The Princess Bride.”

After winning the Evelyn Richardson Award for non-fiction, the Times Literary Supplement called Notes for the Everlost“…a delicate, playful handbook for people who feel they might disappear into grief forever.”

Rowdy hoots on one page, and dancing through the elemental stuff on the next. I hope it’s always that way.
