A Little Bit about Me:
I am the author of the children's novels Rules for Liars, Violet and the Pie of Life and Kaitlyn and the Competition and the children's book series CJ Baker: Mover and Shaker, The Funny Girl, Silver Pony Ranch, Zeke Meeks, and Supernatural Rubber Chicken. I've also published five YA novels with Penguin: Storky: How I Lost My Nickname and Won the Girl, Stuck in the 70s, and The Band trilogy.
I live in Southern California and worked as a lawyer for 15 years. I love giving writing workshops and talks at schools, libraries, and conferences for students, teachers, and writers.
