An article I wrote for Medium back in April. Enjoy!
EMMIE in the (international) wild!
I was recently traveling abroad with my family to Spain and Paris, and…hey, look what I stumbled on: EMMIE books in Madrid, Barcelona, and Paris! Si and oui!
Radio interview
I’m on the radio! Listen to my interview about IZZY on Cleveland’s “Here & Now” featuring the “Sound of Applause” (WCPN 90.3).
Positively Izzy Book Tour!

Ohioana Festival
So excited to be part of this year’s acclaimed Ohioana Book Festival on April 14 in Columbus, OH. Click here for detailed info and here for festival authors.
Besides signing copies of Invisible Emmie and Pajama Diaries books, I’ll also be part of a panel for tween/teen readers:
1:00 pm – 1:45 pm: Learn from an expert panel of illustrators as they discuss all things connected to creating pictures for books – Joe Sutphin, Mark and Mary Willenbrink, Christina Wald, Terri Libenson (graphic artist)
Hope to see you there!
News and Events!
Gearing up for a very busy spring. Pretty soon I’ll be going on tour for my new book, Positively Izzy, which debuts May 1. I will post that schedule as soon as it’s locked in. For now, I hope you’ll pre-order a copy!
In the meantime, I look forward to presenting Invisible Emmie at Elyria Public Library on Monday, April 9, at 6:30 pm. Click here for registration. Hope to see you!
Keystone-Lagrange Branch Library: 101 West Street, LaGrange, Ohio 44050
