Welcome to my website and blog.
Many thanks to my great designer, Kimber Gray, for developing this for me. I'm excited to have a way to connect with readers about my books as well as the other things near and dear to my heart: juvenile justice reform, foster care and other at-risk kids, native plants, hiking, biking, and of course, horses.
