• That Mama is a Grouch on Aug. 18, 2012
  
  What a fun book! This is a perfect story for parents and their young children. There's messes being made and cleaning up done. Plus a good lesson learned. I admit sometimes I too can be a grouch. I think almost any kid and adult can relate. My son's favorite part was trying to find the mouse in every picture! He particularly liked the mouse vacuuming!
  
• The Rifters on Aug. 28, 2014
  
  It's not easy starting over. Not for Daelin Long who lost her dream job in NYC and has to go to her sister's house in the tiny Oregon town of Settler. Nor is it for Earl Blacke who was a famed outlaw in 1888 but now a cowboy atoning for his sins in modern day Settler. It doesn't help that Daelin's sister is missing and there's rumors of phantoms and missing heads. Earl must keep his secrets, but to save Daelin and Settler, he'll have to risk something more. An incredibly original tale of brave small town folks, cowboys, and monsters. It's urban fantasy, science-fiction, and steampunk wrapped within an action-packed plot and a quirky cast of characters. Settler has a small town flair, but something even more unusual stretching back through its history. The place itself is a fascinating character itself! Daelin won me over quickly. She lost everything in NYC, and when she came to her sister Charming's home, Charming had gone missing. Thrust into a strange little town away from everything she worked for, Daelin is forced to fight for her life against things she doesn't understand. She's smart and brave, but there is a bookish innocence about her that I adored. Earl is like a knight in dusty cowboy boots. I could feel the weight of his secrets and I wondered if he could remain true to them. There was something I liked about everyone in Settler, and many times, I found myself giggling as I read. The threat looming over the town is a mystery, but no less deadly. This is the first book in the series, and I can't wait to read more to answer the thousand questions bumping around in my head! I highly recommend THE RIFTERS to everyone.
  
• Ten Zany Birds on Aug. 16, 2015
  
  This is a marvelously fun story about ten birds having a party. Each one goes away for a different reason. Kids won't even realize they're learning to count backwards. My son can already count, but he learned a new word he loves to use: Zany! I love the beautiful illustrations. So colorful and full of life.
