Disney Fairies
These chapter books have gorgeous, full color illustrations and very fun storylines. I started off editing them, then wrote a few. They were as enjoyable to write as they were to edit.
Prilla and the Butterfly Lie
““A charming tale about finding faith in oneself.””
Four Clues for Rani
Disney Princesses
After my time working at Disney, I was very familiar with all the characters, so I really enjoyed writing original stories for these two princesses.
Belle: The Mysterious Message
Cinderella: The Lost Tiara

And here are a few books that are now out of print (not published anymore.) But they were so much fun to write that I wanted to include them!
““Using seals, walruses, mice, cats, and mole rats as examples, the well-written text explores how various animals use their whiskers… A substantive, appealing title designed to be read with an adult but certainly accessible enough for new readers to tackle alone.””
Road to Reading: Whiskers
““An interesting easy reader and one that new readers will enjoy.””
Twisted Tales
Phonics Comics
“Featuring funny fractured takes on three classic fairy tales!”
Meet the Sparkplugs Phonics Comics
“Sparkplugs includes three hilarious stories about a robot family trying to find its place on Earth.”
This book is part of the Poison Apple series, only available from Scholastic Book Clubs and Fairs. But I love the cover because Haley is supposed to be my daughter as a teenager. She was five at the time it was created!
The Ghost of Christmas Past
And last but not least, one of my earliest and most favorite books, Once Upon a Reptar, featuring the one and only… Reptar!
