I am a writer in San Diego, California, focusing on children's picture books and juvenile/young adult fiction.

I was a nonfiction book editor for seven years, and have a bachelor's degree in journalism.

I am married with two young boys. Our house is close to the airport, the harbor, and the Amtrak/freight tracks, so we hear the sounds of all kinds of comings and goings.

Little Italy is a ten-minute walk away, and there are two canyons just blocks away that we can walk through.
