No matter what people tell you, words and ideas can change the world. -Robin Williams
I’m a dreamer, lover of words and numbers, and secretly wish I could rescue all of the abandoned cats and kittens of the world... especially the black ones. My characters drive my imagination. They come to me when I least expect them and trust me to nurture and develop their stories. |
My newest middle grade characters can’t wait to hit your bookshelves! Below are some hints of future works:
THE BACKYARD SECRETS OF DANNY WEXLER
(Kar-Ben/Lerner Nov 1 2021, pre-order avail may 1, 2021)
Coming Soon to PJ Our Way!
Certain a recent kidnapping is linked to an old Bermuda Triangle alien theory, 11 year old Danny, the only Jewish boy in his town in 1978, tries to prove his hairy-handed piano teacher is involved. But he not only has to fight UFOs, he also has to fight anti-Semitism.
Daisy Deely Knows The Truth
When science-loving Daisy’s mom announces yet another divorce, they find themselves moving to a house that’s rumored to be haunted. With Daisy’s world turned sideways, she navigates her feelings about having parents who each have two divorces under their belts, whether the strange coincidences in the new house have a basis in science, and the true meaning of friendship in her quest to distinguish illusion from truth.
