My fourteenth young adult novel, THE GUARDIAN, has been released by Henry Holt in March 2009. With this book, I accepted a challenge from a young reader to combine my two favorite genres…thriller and supernatural. When Hunter, a down and out foster child, begins believing in his guardian angel, magical things come into his life. But some of it seems too good to be true…and do angels really ride motorcycles and send emails? >> Buy it Now! | Reviews for THE GUARDIAN

It was my dream to write poetry since I was eight years old. Somewhere along the way, I became a novelist, but I’ve always written poetry. This year a special dream came true when my first collection of poems, IMPERMANENCE was published by Finishing Line Press. The collection is themed around my mother’s struggle with Alzheimer’s Disease. IMPERMANENCE can be ordered on Amazon, from Finishing Line Press or from me directly >> Buy it Now!
