10 Things
Readers Would Be Surprised To Know About Me.
- I always wanted to be a Rock Star. I would spend hours singing into my hairbrush and memorizing the words. Trouble was I sounded better in the shower, than out of it!
- I don’t write my books. They write me. I have an idea about what I might write, but there are times I sit down at the computer and something completely different occurs.
- My characters are a culmination of all my experiences. They’re an impatient lot, and have been known to wake me from a sound sleep. My characters have a story to tell and they’ve been waiting a lifetime to share it with you.
- Although I write about tough topics, I am not depressed. I love life. I laugh often and I’m not ashamed of my past.
- I’m not impressed with money or titles. I am however, profoundly moved by courage and authenticity.
- My favorite piece of art in the entire world is a child’s drawing which reads “I love you Nana.”
- I learned that focusing solely on outward appearances is like icing an unbaked cake. As pretty as you make the icing, without a solid structure upon which it can stick, it’s still going to fall off.
- I like children and dogs better than most adults. Don’t get me wrong. I do like adults, but I find the honesty in children refreshing, and if you ever want to learn about unconditional love, get a dog!
- Seventeen years ago I used to talk about all the things I would one day do, from my barstool. With each pint the stories grew more grandiose. I would travel the world, drive a Porsche, live in a mansion and bask endlessly on a sun drenched beach. Trouble is it’s hard to do these things with a bar stool strapped to your butt. Getting clean and sober was better than any fantasy I’d ever imagined!
- I never saw myself as an author. I just had a lot of really profound experiences in which I learned a great deal from. I wanted to share this knowledge with others. My books aren’t created through pen and paper, but rather tears and laughter and above all else, a hopeful spirit and a great imagination.

Book Description:
Meet Grace. At nine years old she has a
big secret. Grace knows first-hand that life can be difficult. Her
parents aren't very happy. Their arguing is giving her a stomach
ache. She spends a lot of time alone, worrying. Are her parents
problems her fault? Had she done something wrong? Grace pretends
everything is fine, but it's not. She feels helpless and has learned
that making things up is easier than telling the truth. One big
question haunts her every day. Will her family ever be happy again?
This book is perfect for a child with a
difficult home life. Divorce, addiction, mental health issues and
more can cause children to feel alone, anxious and afraid. Gracie's
Secret addresses this by showing kids they aren't alone, and that
they can feel better. With a workbook section for kids to understand
their own issues and a message that talking to a safe person will
help, Gracie's story can help kids cope.
Excerpt:
"Grace wished she could take
Cameron and run far away. She held him close and hummed, hoping to
cover the noise of their parent's yelling so he could fall asleep.
Her stomach was hurting again.
The raised voices below them were
joined by a crash. She plugged her ears.
Her bedroom was so dark she thought it
might swallow her up.
Grace closed her eyes, trying to stay
calm as she imagined what was going downstairs. Her eyes blinked back
open, not able to stay closed. She remained upright in bed for most
the night."
