I'm glad you stopped by! Probably anything you could ever want to know about me is right here. Be sure to check out my blog on this site--all about worms and books and writing. I'm very excited about my first book. Yay! Winnie Finn, Worm Farmer is a picture book for ages 4-8, illustrated by New York Times best-selling artist Ard Hoyt. I am proud to say that our book has been named a Junior Library Guild selection!

• Winnie Finn is going to be one of ten picture books kids will read for the Maine Chickadee Award next year. Kids in Maine schools will hear or read stories chosen by librarians and educators statewide and then vote for their faves. What an honor!
• More praise for Winnie has come from School Library Journal and also the Wild About Nature blog.
