I write YA novels for boys that girls like to read too. About normal kids who have abnormal things happen to them. Modern fantasy. Urban paranormal. Realism with a magical twist. I can’t live by your rules, man. I’ll write it, you figure out what to call it. NO vampires, werewolves or zombies allowed.
In my world, mermaids are vicious. Shadows have minds of their own. And prophets are not exactly revered.
I edit the funnyfied and informational Sunflower Scoop, the weekly newsletter of the KSCBWI, and serve as a member of the Advisory Committee. I’m also a member of Heartland Writers for Kids and Teens and several spiffy critique groups.
And I like to make my dog wear a tiny sombrero.
