Welcome! I write picture books and middle grade novels for kids. Although I am originally from St. Louis, I have lived in Shenzhen, China with my husband and kids since 2016. In my spare time, I do freelance editing, writing, and voice recording for Step Ahead, an English consulting company in Shenzhen. When I am not finding inspiration in the sights and sounds of our city, I am swapping English books for Chinese ones with my neighbors and practicing my Mandarin. Thanks for stopping by!
