about me
Welcome to all things me! I've been working in publishing for ages and ages. I was a children's book editor for nearly a decade, and began writing professionally in 2004. Since then I've written over 75 books, including critically-acclaimed original fiction, novelty formats for younger readers, and bestselling commercial novels for teens and tweens.
I received my MFA in Writing for Children and Young Adults from the Vermont College of Fine Arts, and can often be found teaching workshops in writing for young readers. These days I'm usually writing creepy stories for older teens. Or funny stories for early readers. Or picture books based on your favorite pop culture properties. Other hobbies include drinking too much coffee and taking too many photos of my dog.

Gilmore Girls: Our stars hollow family
Join the Gilmore Girls as they celebrate the people who raised them and the family they found along the way—from Richard and Emily to Mia, Sookie, Luke, and the rest of quirky residents of Star Hollows—in this beautifully illustrated storybook appropriate for fans of all ages.
This picture book captures what fans of all ages love about Gilmore Girls—the quirky, lovable characters of Stars Hollow and the bonds they built throughout the series!
Lorelai and Rory share a mother/daughter relationship that makes them uniquely the Gilmore girls. Their loving bond is found in everything from early morning birthday wakeup calls to late night movie marathons, dance contests, and the most unhealthy midnight snacks. And even though Lorelai’s relationship with her parents may be strained at times, they are still bound by love and Friday Night Dinners.
