Children's author. I read and write a lot, and dust occasionally. No chat messages unless we are already acquainted, please.

I'm proud to be working with DCB, one of the Canadian publishers in this list. Every single one of DCB's books are printed here in Canada! Next time you're looking for a middle grade story may I (modestly) recommend A Bend in the Breeze as my best book to date?
