My ideal readers are children and families who love imaginative stories that inspire empathy and perseverance.
I’m also working on unpublished manuscripts, like George and the Brave Eagle (a picture book for ages 3-6) and Washington’s Fantastical Crossing (a YA novel), which await funding for illustration. I have several others, adult historical fiction, awaiting illustration.
I’m currently shopping for an illustrator for the picture book. The eagle teaches 6-year-old George about shapes and colors, as well as patriotism.
