Super Daisy! Cover Reveal
Anybody wanna see the cover of Super Daisy!? Voila! Many thanks to my brother in law, Dave Gileadi, for lending his expertise in getting this together. He guided me through the ins and outs of Pixlr and has such a good eye for where things go artistically. Even though he never put his own hands […]
It’s My Bookiversary! Let’s Celebrate!
First off, yesterday my husband mentioned that he prefers “not big” hair. He couldn’t be serious, could he? Come on. Big hair is the best! I’m choosing to ignore the comment. And now…. A year ago this week, BIG IN JAPAN hit the shelves. I can’t believe it’s been a whole year. What a fun […]
America’s Best Kept Secret
We travel to Idaho every summer. My family is there, parents, at least. Since we live in southern Arizona, we’re still in the West, and I always tell myself it won’t be that different from here. The southern part of Idaho is still considered part of the Great Basin, it’s a desert, there’s a drought […]
Meeting Contestants from “The Voice”
I can’t believe it’s been a whole week since we lived out my Mother’s Day gift dream and went to the LOCAL concert featuring some of this season’s best singers from NBC’s “The Voice.” Time flies! We took the whole family to see rocking songstress Amy Whitcomb, folk rock duo Midas Whale, and our hometown […]
What’s Nice About Being a Small Town Author

Traveling Through Time as a Fan of Delicious Flavor
Traveling through time in search of the most delicious food EVER? That’s the plot of EVERTASTER by Adam Sidwell, and it’s definitely a story idea I can get behind. In fact, I could probably daydream about something like that for a good long time! In May, Sidwell came through our cute little community to share […]

English Sumo!
So, this week I had an incredible opportunity. I got to sit down with about 120 young people who had spent the last month PEEKING INSIDE MY BRAIN. Yeah, that’s about what it felt like, going to the high school English classes and discussing BIG IN JAPAN with all the students who have read my […]
