A Little About Me

I write books, get lost in mysteries, escape escape rooms, crave crunchy things, love my family, love my friends, cook good food, daydream often, and possibly remember too many things of little consequence (but it’s fun).

School Visits and Events

One of my favorite things? Speaking to students and teachers and writers. I’m currently booking school, library, and conference visits for 2025-26.

Thanks to educators and organizers who have given me the privilege of visiting hundreds of classrooms and speaking at such conferences as NCTE, ALAN, and IRA; library associations in Texas, Missouri, Arizona, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Indiana, and Georgia; at the Missouri and Florida regions of the Society of Children’s Book Writers and Illustrators; and at book festivals in a number of cities.

What people are saying!

I love all of your books and I’m so thankful for you to come all the way from Missouri to Georgia! Did you see the librarian crying? So funny but now you know how much this school loves you.

My kids were just going wild yesterday talking about all they learned from you. I think you have definitely changed some lives in a very positive way. Thank you!

Randomness

Story starters, pancakes, football, more! You want a self-portrait of me at age 4? Here you go!

The thing is, I love to have fun here. In fact, feel free to tell me what you might like to find here. (I mean, besides a million dollars.)

See more randomness!
