I’m the author of realistic middle grade novels: Hijacked by Goats, Into the Rapids, Flight of the Puffin, Opinions and Opossums, and The Benefits of Being an Octopus.
I write about kids learning to stand up for themselves even when life is hard.

Josie is sure her brain has to be right: that she needs to be perfect or something terrible will happen. When she’s diagnosed with OCD, her therapist calls it a bully in her brain, one that looks a lot like Hal, the stubborn, smelly goat her dad is goat-sitting. With help from her therapist, her dad, and her friends, Josie works to find the power to stand up to the bully in her head.
