About meI am the author of The King's Rose and The Blood Confession, both published by Dutton Children's Books. I am on a constant search for the muse/daemon/inspiration in books, movies, music, art, whatever I come across. I am chronically behind on my reading and experience late-night paranoia about all the books I want to read. I have frequent detailed dreams about walking into a library full of the books - the perfect, eclectic collection of books - that I need to read in order to make whatever project I'm working on great. Because that's how I learn about writing. I also enjoy sewing, knitting (I made myself an oddly-shaped hat), going to concerts (David Bowie was awesome), going to art museums, and staring at a computer screen until small drops of blood form on my forehead.
About my libraryMy library is heavy on young adult, children's fiction and poetry. I love historical and fantasy/magical real fiction. I'll admit that I haven't read all the books in my possession, as I also love our local branch library and visit it frequently. But that doesn't stop me from buying more books.

Thanks again for sending me a copy of 'The King's Rose!' The review has been posted here at LT and on my book blog here; I really enjoyed the book!
I hope to read 'The Blood Confession' some day soon :D

(Reginald Holmes)
A little girl's heart must be wide and deep,
To hold all the things that she likes to keep;
A curly-haired doll that holds out its hands
And walks and talks when occasion demands.
A bright colored bow, her favorite book,
A little toy stove that really will cook;
A gay, cheery song, to sing when she's glad,
A corner to hide in, (when she's been bad).
There is plenty of room for the girl next door
And the blue silk dress in the downtown store;
A soft fluffy kitten with playful charms
And a welcome spot in her mother's arms.
