"So you think you babysit monsters?" is now published
Dear Bookworms:
It's taken me awhile to get to this point, but I am excited to share that my newest book, "So you think you babysit monsters?" has finally been published!
This is a middle grade fantasy novel set outside of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. It is the first book of the series The Abercrombie Family Business: Totally True, Tir Griffin Story #1, and tells the story of Mackenzie Abercrombie -- a 13 year old Magic Minder. Mackenzie lives in a special neighborhood called Tir Griffin where she and her family are surrounded by monster families in human disguise. It's her responsibility to watch the little ones, to keep them safe from the local mortals. Mackenzie also has a completely normal life outside of Tir Griffin, which for a middle-schooler, is anything but normal anyway!
My good friend and artist, Carol Chew, illustrated the cover for me, which shows Mackenzie standing in Tir Griffin's entrance gate, holding little Michael Roper (a toddler dragon) and Cynthia Patrick (a toddler Cyclops) sitting next to them. Michael and Cynthia are two of Mackenzie's charges. I love how Carol's drawing really brought the characters to life!
The book is now available in print and ebook versions on Amazon, Barnes and Noble, iTunes and elsewhere. I hope you'll check it out.
Happy Reading and Happy Holidays!

It's been awhile
Hello.
It's been awhile since I posted. Boy, time has flown. I had no idea!
I've been hard at work trying to get my new middle grade book series up and running. It's called The Abercrombie Family Business. I'm still waiting for final proofing and for the cover illustration to be finished. I'm pretty excited about it and can't wait to share it with everyone.
I've also been working on a new manners book. That will be out later this year, probably around the holiday.
Meanwhile I've been trying to get my websites spruced up and more funtional. Just about there ... everything takes so much longer to do than I think it will!
Last, I've been experimenting with Apps. Don't know how or if it will work but hey, why not give it a try!
Hope you have some good reading on your summer reading list.
Enjoy!
