About this author

edit data

I am the author of historical fiction picture books, nonfiction, and middle grade fiction. I also review books for Bookpage.com, and work full time as vice president for advancement (that means fundraising!) for Pacific Northwest College of Art (PNCA) here in Portland.

Titanic: Voices from the Disaster was named a 2013 Sibert Honor Book and a 2013 YALSA Excellence in Nonfiction Finalist. Annie and Helen is a finalist for a 2013 Oregon Book Award.

My new books in 2013 are KNIT YOUR BIT, a World War I story, which is a historical fiction picture book set in 1918, inspired by the Central Park Knitting Bee, and a middle grade historical fiction title called THE GREAT TROUBLE, A MYSTERY OF LONDON, the BLUE DEATH and A BOY CALLED EEL.
