About

I write fantasy adventure stories for kids ages 9 and up—and for adults who care about what their kids are reading.

​​

My books feature monsters, magic, mystery, and fast-paced adventure. They’re designed to pull readers into a hidden world quickly, then keep them there with danger, problem-solving, and humor. Boys like them. Girls like them. Parents like to secretly read ahead.

​​

The Casey Grimes books explore an alternate version of the United States where monsters stalk the suburbs and hidden academies train kids to keep the beasts in check. 

​

The series has received numerous reviews, including from Kirkus, and has been honored by two international book awards. It’s trusted by parents, teachers, and librarians looking for exciting middle grade fiction that stays age-appropriate without talking down to readers.

​

I’m an author and parent who writes the kinds of books I want in my own kids’ hands: immersive, heart-pounding, and full of fun.

​

If you’d like to explore the world, the best place to start is the first book in the series.
