About Me

I write books for YA and adult readers. I love hiking, writing, and hanging out at bookstores, libraries, and food co-ops. It's a wild life with the wildlife.I'm a librarian, too. Right now I buy YA fiction and graphic novels for my library district.My sweetheart Mario Milosevic and I live most of the year in the Pacific Northwest where we write stories and commune with Old Trees and other wild things; we wander around the Southwest for the rest of the year where we generally join the Coyote Chorus and howl at the moon at any opportunity.My recent YA novels are Mercy, Unbound , Broken Moon , and Ruby's Imagine . And now Church of the Old Mermaids is out!You can find out more about the Church of the Old Mermaids here and here . Have fun!My website is here.
