Lunar Lifter Blasts Off!
Bryler Publishing
February 2012

 My early chapter adventure novel for middle readers (ages 7-10) is at the printer. Lunar Lifter is the story of two children’s ingenuity and resourcefulness when they unexpectedly find themselves rocketing through space in a cardboard box. Suddenly on the moon and faced with a series of problems to overcome, the siblings must rely on their imagination and new friends to find a way home. I workshopped the story with my children, students I've taught through the Writers in the School program, friends and my supportive writing group. Advance copies are available now at Chapters/Indigo and copies will be for sale next month through the Bryler Publications web site and at bookstores big and small. Please contact me if you'd like to review a copy, or to book me for a signing or classroom visit.

"Refreshing, funny. A celebration of imagination and childhood creativity. Lunar Lifter is an adventure story that will catapult readers into the wild outer and inner space journey of a nine year old Bluenoser; a young storyteller I want to hear from again."—Sheree Fitch, author of Pluto's Ghost.

I’m passionate about storytelling, as a means of accurately explaining information, while enlightening and entertaining readers. I’m energetic and happiest when I’m engaged and multi-tasking.  And whether I’m writing, editing, consulting, volunteering, event planning, exploring, teaching or creating, I’m committed to doing my best work at all times, both for myself and for my clients.
 
Thank you for visiting my web site. It will allow you to know me better.
