I LOVE books and have made a career creating and sharing them as an author and librarian. I hold a Master of Library Science and shared many wonderful books as a public and school librarian before focusing on creating books.
​
I am the author of THE LOUSY LAYUP and TALK WITH ME, and I help other authors reach their publishing goals as an associate literary agent.
I am excited to share my most recent project, The P.A.S.S. Approach.
​
This simple 4-step guide is designed to help everyone effectively and respectfully talk with those who use communication devices to speak.
The idea was sparked by my daughter Grace who is autistic and struggles with verbal communication. She voices her needs by using an Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) device.
More than 4 million people in the US use AAC devices, so I created The P.A.S.S. Approach to enhance communication between those who use AAC and those who do not because everyone deserves to be heard.

This project was featured in Serving Patrons with Disabilities published American Library Association and the June 2023 edition of American Libraries Magazine.
