Interested in an author visit? Let’s connect! I am the NSTA / CBC 2026 Outstanding Science Trade Books award-winning author of STUCK! The Story of La Brea Tar Pits (2025 Bushel & Peck Books), a 2025 Grand Prize SunWriteFun winner for Dragonflies: After Summer’s Heat Fall and 2025 Fall Writing Frenzy winner for my poem “For A Good and Sweet Year of Abundance and Hope”. My poetry appears in anthologies published by Pomelo Books, Hey Hey Books, The Dirigible Balloon, and Northern Loon Press. I currently serve as the Regional Advisor for SCBWI-Wisconsin. I love family and friend gatherings, gardening, and exploring National Parks, mountains, rocks and water. My list of projects range from the curiosities of bees, trees, and families to intriguing rocks, moving glaciers, hidden cave art, and fossils. Nature intrigues me; my writing inspires children to stay curious.

I have taught elementary, middle, and high school students as well as university students and professional development for educators. I would love to share the joy of writing with your students.

    Hi Marie,

    I’ll look into it. I’m learning the ins and outs of Substack. Thanks for let me know. I’m so excited for STUCK to arrive!

    Hi Joyce. Would you happen to have a PDF of Stuck for The Mountain Laurel Book Award committee to peruse? I will request that my local library system order it, but for now I would like a link to share to the other committee members as we prepare to narrow down our next list.
