Welcome!

Thanks for visiting! I write stories for a living. Really. I used to get in trouble for telling stories. Now I get paid. It’s the best job on Earth, doncha think?

Over there, to the left - that’s SELLING HOPE! Isn’t the cover sublime? *sigh*

SELLING HOPE is HERE, friends! What’s it about? Want to read an excerpt? Or even, um, order it? Click on any of those reddy-red links or any of the covers and go for it!

I’m a frindie, BTW - a friend of independent bookstores. SELLING HOPE was on the Spring 2011 Kids’ IndieNext List - thank you, ABA! Click this hippie-tastic button and find the nearest locally-owned bookstore.

And - happy day! SELLING HOPE received a STARRED REVIEW from Booklist! Reviewer Ian Chipman calls it a “bouncy tale populated by a terrific cast of characters!” Thank you, Booklist! Read the full review here, along with reviews from Kirkus, School Library Journal, the BCCB, and others around the blogosphere.

And see that, to the left over there? That’s AUTUMN WINIFRED OLIVER DOES THINGS DIFFERENT from Delacorte Press/Random House, now available in paperback!

Want to read an excerpt? Read the reviews? Watch the trailer? Check out the AR stats? (Yes, AUTUMN is an AR book!) Or buy it?

AUTUMN WINIFRED OLIVER DOES THINGS DIFFERENT was selected by the Tennessee State Library to represent the State of Tennessee at the 2009 National Book Festival! And...AUTUMN has been nominated for the Tennessee State Book Award, 2011-2012 list! Thank you, librarians and booksellers!
