Coming Soon! The Princess and the Snowbird , the sequel to The Princess and the Bear will be available in 2010. It is the story of Liva, the daughter of the hound and the bear, and Jens, an ordinary boy with no magic at all who does extraordinary things, and of course, a mythical creature called a snowbird who returns to help save magic at the end of the world.

School Visits and Presentations

Contact me by clicking above for appearances. I do some small group writing workshops and larger presentations, but I have a tighter schedule this year.

Manuscript Critiquing Service

I charge about $1 per page (250 words) for this service, and you will get a manuscript returned with lots of comments made while reading, plus a 10 page letter explaining how to make your manuscript ready for publication. I also give out tons of advice on what you should do with your career, what you do best, and what the next step is. If you have been writing for a while and are frustrated, or you don't know how to get to the next step, this is for you! Click on the writing link above for more information.
