Here are my two faithful listeners, Daisy and Russell, asking for a snack break. (We've been hard at work). This deck is where I do much of my writing (in longhand).
This is a place for information about my books and answers to some frequent questions (go to Answers to Questions page). If you have other questions, or comments, please feel free to e-mail me (see below). I try to answer all letters and emails. Scholastic is very good at forwarding your letters to me. Once again, welcome and enjoy your visit.

My newest novel of historical fiction is about the heroine of the famous song, "My Darlin' Clementine." I was always fascinated by the lyrics of the song, which hinted at an unsolved mystery. Clementine dreams of becoming a doctor but in the 1866 Idaho Territory, young women didn't become doctors. When a family tragedy strikes, it unleashes a chain of desperate events. What will Clementine risk to save her family and follow her dreams?
"...resourceful and down-to-earth Clementine makes an appealing heroine." -- Booklist
