A Boy Named Love, my first children’s book, the first published book accredited to me, is now available. NOW AVAILABLE. It’s listed on Amazon. Just like John Grisham’s books and Jen Hatmaker’s books and Liane Moriarty’s books. Amazon! I’m excited and relieved, but mostly just grateful for all of the support. I can’t wait to […]
Well. We are making progress, you guys. Slowly but surely my first children’s book, A Boy Named Love, is becoming a reality. I sent a detailed update to all of the Kickstarter backers last week with all the nitty gritty, including a couple illustration sneak peeks and a look into the process of working with […]

Last week the girls and I went to Costco. Wasn’t that a great story? Ha! You’re welcome. Ahem. After we sort of not really ignored the deliciousness in the front aisles like the chocolatey granola bars and the sea salt pita chips and those dark chocolate covered acai berries that taste like heaven, and after […]
When I’m lacking motivation, I read. When I need inspiration, I read. When I’m bored, I read. When I’m stressed, I read. When I’m relaxed, I read. When I feel happy or excited or sad or mad, I read. When I want to learn, I read. When I need help, I read. I read. Always. […]
…was The New Kid On the Block, a collection of poems by Jack Prelutsky and drawings by James Stevenson. You need to have an iron rear to sit upon a cactus, or otherwise, at least a year of very painful practice. Classic. Does anyone else remember Bleezer’s Ice Cream? Or I’ve Got an Incredible Headache […]
