Welcome!

Here, you will find my books for younger readers, including the coming of age series A World So Close, plus the two new family sci-fi adventures, which are written for younger readers but are complex enough to delight older readers too—even adults!

The A World So Close series is dedicated to “All who face challenges and learn to believe in themselves. Find what no one else can find, in a world that only you and your best friend can see. Look inside your heart.”

Click on any cover image to read the book’s sample, which is generally about 10% of the book. All books are available far and wide as e-books, paperbacks, and hardcovers.

Thanks for reading!
