I did it! With lots and lots and LOTS of help! It was an insane summer giving my website a complete overhaul and redesign, while I was finishing a book, but it HAD to be done for my launch of Cordelia and the Whale.

Pre-orders are now available!

The MNS Store will be up and running in another 6 weeks or so, so please come back every so often to see my new additions as the rest of my website goes live!

Thank you to my amazing web designer, Geo for making my vision come true with this new website! You are a rock star and I'm so very grateful to you!

Of course I cannot believe I am in the end stages of completing my first middle grade novel, Cordelia and the Whale. I was't sure I could do it, but with a lot of help from my incredible editor, Emma Dryden, my fantastic copy editor, Beverly James, and my best friend, Melinda for art directing the cover I DID IT. I could not have done this without you guys.

I REALLY could not have done this without the unending encouragement of my friends - some I never have ever met in person. Your words of encouragement meant more to me than I can ever truly express in words. You kept me going on days I was frustrated beyond belief and really doubted my abilities to do this. Thank you will never be enough.

And to my family, who truly saw the insanity of what creating a book does to a person. They got yelled at, ignored, had to listen to venting and complaining, and sometimes have to pour me lots of wine. Thank you for putting up with me. And to my saint of a husband, I promise to clean the house. In one more week! Maybe. Heh.

Please have a look around and enjoy! And maybe buy a book or three or four. ;)
