I have lived in so many places that home is more a state of mind than a place. Growing up, I went to four different schools in three different countries. After attending college in the US, I worked for a publishing company in London, and later for another publisher in California. But now you can find me settled in a small Connecticut town, which boasts the largest tree in the state, an enormous old sycamore. Like the tree, I’ve grown roots here, raising my four children, two dogs, and two cats.

My picture book I WANT TO EAT YOUR BOOKS is about a little zombie with a big appetite for books. I am writing a middle-grade novel about a girl who falls through her ancestor’s burial mound and finds herself back in the mythical time before the Vikings known as the Heroic Age, a time of dragons, treasure hoards, and heroes.
