About Me
I live in outside Boston with my husband, two daughters, and rescue pup. I started my writing journey after having my second daughter and putting my social work career on pause. I always wanted to write picture books and felt that this was my chance to go for it! I’m excited to have my debut picture book, MACK AND FRED: SIDE BY SIDE coming out in Spring of 2026 by The Little Press Publishing!
I write picture books that have a SEL component to them, but are also humorous read-aloud stories with a commercial appeal. I can’t resist a story filled with wry humor that pokes fun of everyday social scenarios.
Favorite Picture books: Anything Jon Klassen and Mac Barnett, Elephant and Piggie books, The Most Magnificent Thing, Grumpy Monkey, This Book Is Perfect, Giraffes Can’t Dance, I Just Ate My Friend, Giraffe Problems, The Seven Silly Eaters… just to name a few…
Mack and Fred: Side by Side
My debut picture book Mack and Fred: Side by Side was released on August 25, 2026 by Little Press Publishing!! It is available for preorder on Amazon, Barnes and Noble, and Bookshop.org.
Mack and Fred do everything together—always have. So when it comes time to build their dream homes, they pick the perfect hilltop and settle in side by side. Life is just right… until Mack notices Fred’s new porch. Then a slide. Then a pool. Then—wait—is that a bowling alley?!
What starts as a shared dream quickly turns into a side-by-side showdown! Fueled by jealousy and outlandish upgrades, Mack and Fred race to outdo one another until they forget what made their friendship special in the first place.
