To the blank pages... 


 
One thing I treasure is a good conversation, and few topics interest me as much as writing. As writers, we walk with our characters through however many pages they need, but too seldom discuss that process with others. Please feel free to e-mail me with questions, comments, or anything else writing-related that's on your mind.

Welcome

My writing philosophy is pretty simple. We live stories every day. Some people just choose to write them down tinted (and sometimes saturated) with healthy doses of hyperbole.

I am an author of books for children. I was born and raised along the mighty Mississippi in Bettendorf, Iowa. I currently live and work in Iowa City, Iowa with my wife and an ornery terrier named Bernie.  My books are targeted for middle grade readers (roughly ages 8-12), though they have been described by reviewers as reads for "all ages." Explore the links at left to learn more about me and my work.

I have recently added some new dates to the News page. Be sure to check back often for more updates about me, including more appearances and news about current (and future!) books.  

To stay on top of the latest updates, make sure to become a fan of my Facebook page.
