About the Author explores my background and views on creating books for children. I share my passion for children's writing through classes and lectures for adults as well as children. Look here for information on my adult classes and for materials from conference presentations.

School Visits provides details on my slide show presentations and classroom workshops as well as set up requirements for a school visit and learning extension ideas for teachers.

For fun, click on Projects and Cool Stuff and print out your own paper-doll versions of Zelda and Ivy and their wardrobe from their first book adventures. Or take the personality quiz to see which fox sister you are most like. A page of foxy gift tags, and Mrs. Brownlie's gingerbread cookie recipe are also found there, as well as complete directions for gouache resist painting, the media used to illustrate Zelda and Ivy.

Buying Books has information on how you can work with your local book store to obtain copies of my work, or how you can order them directly over the world wide web.

Links will take you to other sites with more information on children's books, their authors, writing and art resources, and more.
