Dear Reader,

Albert Einstein said, “Imagination is everything.” It's true! While I write in multiple genres – Poetry! Prose! Nonfiction! – all my books have one thing in common: imagination.

Whether it's a cheeky giant Pacific octopus writing postcards at the end of her life...

or a conversation about race, mistakes and friendship between two 5th graders, one white the other black...

or a girl and her D-39 robodog in dystopian North Dakota. I first dive into the sea of imagination. And guess what I've discovered? That sea is teeming with empathy, roiling with emotion – and those are the very things that connect us as living beings. Thank you so much for reading!

Love,

Oh, and P.S.
