Picture Books & Chapter Books are always close to my heart after teaching primary students for 30+ years.
They entertain. They encourage. They empower. They teach empathy and are a child's first steps into the world of books.
I love the intrigue and behaviour and minds of teenagers, as they grow into the person they were born to be, and navigate all the bumps and set backs to see as challenges to overcome, as challenges to stumble upon, but not to stay focussed on that challenges, but to learn from them and move on in finding their tribe and their place in the world. Young Adult books are essential to help teenagers untangle all the mysteries of that age group, and as important as picture books and chapter books for young children and primary aged kids.
Books are like magic.
You can step onto the page and into another world or another life, for a belly flop into laughter,
or to solve every problem known to humankind.
I love writing for children and young adults.
And somewhere inside my head, or on my computer, there is always a book being created.
