My Books
While I’ve been writing since I was a child, it was a long and winding path to becoming a children’s book author, with stops along the way in technology, coaching, and education. But I can honestly say this is the most rewarding career I’ve had.
So I'm excited that the following titles are destined for a bookstore near you:
The Longest Letsgoboy – This is a circle of life tale that’s a testament to the enduring bond between people and their pets. It’s told from the perspective of an aging dog who knows he’s on his last walk with his little girl. Chronicle acquired this book, with publication slated for spring 2021.
This very personal, semi-autobiographical story is based on Lakota, one of my Siberian huskies. He and Kaya (pictured on my home page), another husky, would often sit at my feet while I wrote on the back patio. One day, Lakota, who was already 14 years old at the time, got up and slowly began walking. I joined him, as we made our way along the edge of the woods that surround the yard. I felt like he was saying, goodbye to everything around him. So I substituted my daughter as the main character and tried to put myself in Lakota's dog-world to try to figure out what he would be thinking… and The Longest Letsgoboy was born.
TBA – I’m thrilled to have sold another book, scheduled to come out fall 2021, so look for the upcoming announcement. This one is about as removed from The Longest Letsgoboy as possible, as it’s a flat-out humorous, rhyming book. I can’t wait to share the details!
