Author Visits

My very favorite thing to do as an author is to read to kids. I love the insights I get from them and the different ways they interpret what they hear. All of my school visits involve some version of my reading from my books, but visits can also incorporate other elements to give individual schools and classrooms the best experience.

My books are mysteries centered around lighthouses in Michigan, North Carolina, and Northern California (special places in my own life). Each place has its own trilogy of books (and puzzle books), but the main characters are the same. The books are geared toward third graders to read on their own, but have been very successful to read aloud with younger groups and as independent reading for older, more reluctant readers.
