Welcome!

Thank you for paying me a visit! I hope you enjoy reading as much as I enjoy writing. I've published around 35 books so far, and I feel very lucky to be able to do the things I love: writing books, talking with kids and adults about writing, and sometimes also teaching writing.

In addition to descriptions of my books, you'll find information here about my life, along with material about author visits, links to other authors' sites and additional related sites that I hope will interest you, a complete list of all my books, an excerpt from a recent book, and contact information. So feel free to browse—or use the menus at the right and left to go directly to what interests you most.

Again—welcome—and enjoy!
