COWSLIP my very first novel has been republished this week (4/5/14)as COWSLIP A SLAVE by CreateSpace and will be available from Kindle next week. THE CREEPAZOID'S NOSTRILS is my 81st published juvenile novel. Want to get your 8 - 12 boy to read? Give him this zany book about an ancient computer morphing program gone awry.

I have written historical novels, mysteries, supernatural/ghost stories and humor. Lots of humor. I have authored four book series: TAFFY SINCLAIR (Bantam Skylark), its spin-off series, THE FABULOUS FIVE (Bantam Skylark), BOYTALK (Random House Bullseye) and BONE CHILLERS (HarperPaperback). The BONE CHILLERS became an ABC Saturday Morning TV series in 1996. In Hollywood, I took part in the filming of public service announcements shown at the end of each episode. What a blast!

My humorous novel, THE GREAT MOM SWAP, became an ABC Saturday Night Movie in 1995. When I'm not writing, I'm teaching "Writing the Middle-Grade Novel" and "Writing the Young Adult Novel" online for UCLA Extension.

I love to visit schools and talk with kids.
