Summer Vacation!

My husband and I took a trip of a lifetime this summer by riding our motorcycles to the Pacific Northwest in Washington State. For those of you who don't know, Washington State is where I was born and lived until I left for college in Iowa. I return to visit my mom and a handful of relatives every year, but this year was extra special when we arrived on motorcycles!

New Book Launch!

Book Three in The Crustacean Chronicles

Available NOW!

Dive into the thrilling world of the ocean with "Beneath the Blue," the third book in the Crustacean Chronicles series. Claudia is devastated when she doesn't win the Sand Sculpture Competition, especially when her rivals Charlie and Chuck take home the coveted trophy.

But when the trophy responds to Chuck in a way she couldn't have imagined, Claudia is determined to learn the truth about the mysterious compass. On her quest, she faces unexpected obstacles and learns from King Triton himself the depths of the ancient prophecy. As she delves deeper, she is forced to confront the truth within her own heart.

Can Claudia, Charlie, and Chuck work together to overcome mysterious challenges and bring balance back to the ocean? Fans of adventure and fantasy will love this riveting tale of mystery, determination, and friendship. For ages 8-12.
