I am single and childless, but I have lots of friends and I am an aunt to three lovely children.

Everything I write comes from my childhood in one way or another. I am forever drawing on the sense of mystery and wonder and possibility that pervaded that time of my life.

I am busier now than I ever imagined I would be, but I feel blessed in that I have found what I am supposed to be doing with my life. It's wonderful to tell stories and have people listen to them.

I am single and happy.

I am a single mother - that is the reality.

I was born in Philadelphia and currently live in Minneapolis. I write for both children and adults.
