Meet the Author

I started making up stories when I was very small, even before I could write them down. I always dreamed of writing my stories and seeing my books on library shelves one day, where everyone could read them. After years of writing and working and writing some more, I finally got my dream. You can find my books on your library shelves.

I write fiction and nonfiction books for young readers, nonfiction books for adult readers, and all kinds of magazine stories, articles, puzzles and activities for youngsters and for adults. And I've got new stories and book ideas in the works all the time.

I also visit schools to meet and talk with students, speak at Young Author Conferences, and serve on the faculty of writing workshops and conferences across the United States.

(If you snailmail me in care of my publishers, it may take several months for them to forward your letter.) Please be sure to include a stamped, self-addressed envelope, or put your address on your letter, so I can answer you. I feel terrible when I get a letter from a reader without a return address, so I can't answer!

You can also find me on Facebook, or you can comment on my new Blog.
