Then I began writing adventures... about about shapeshifters and sorcerers, first love and magic, villains and heroes. After working hard to learn everything I could about the craft of writing, I began winning contests. Eventually, I also won representation by Ammi-Joan Paquette (voted Most Amazing Agent in the World by yours truly) with the Erin Murphy Literary Agency.

Join me in my journey to publication on the News & Gossip page, where you'll also find celebrations of good news for lots of writer friends, information about what's happening on the writer scene in my hometown (Houston), and links, links, links! Want to know what I'm reading now? Check it out!

On my Tips for Teen Writers page you'll find information on markets that accept teen fiction, articles and poetry. You'll also find links to contests, workshops, and writing websites that are just for teens. My Blogs deal with arcane (hidden or secret) things I've discovered during my writing research, and the fine art of world-building -- a must for every writer, whether you're writing about today's reality, the past, an imagined future, or the worlds of myth and legend. If you're already a member of a writing group, you may be interested in some of the Workshops I conduct.

The last page on my website is a list of the School Plays I've written for elementary and middle school drama classes. Let me know if your school is interested in them!
