Dearest readers, as we close out the year, I won’t be sharing any interviews in December but I ask you to shop local whenever possible so that stores will continue to be there in 2024. I’m sad to be losing one of our indie book stores here in Colorado.
Books make great gifts and if you’re looking for a signed copy of ALIANA REACHES FOR THE MOON, illustrated by Ariel Boroff, please let me know and I’m happy to get it sent out.

I'm a reading specialist and award winning educator from Chicago. While living in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado for nine years, I spent time hiking on the trails with my Goldendoodle Charlie and friends, writing, working in a literacy program at the Boulder Public Library, and mentoring writers and teachers. I love visiting schools. My books combine STEM and Kindness. "Aliana Reaches for the Moon" a picture book that draws inspiration from the moon and the curiosity of children, inviting children to be creative, explore, and experiment. "An Accidental Hero: A Mostly True Wombat Story" a picture book told in the form of a newscast which skillfully balances the serious subject of forest fires with compassion and humor to help children navigate this important topic through the real events of 2020. I moved to Northern New Jersey in 2025 and am working on new projects.
