I was born halfway through the 1950s—a wonderful time to be a kid. Life felt simple then: days filled with outdoor play, meals shared around the family table, evenings spent reading or watching TV together. Reading didn’t come easily at first. But thanks to some inspiring authors who lit the way, I grew to love it. Now, I don’t go anywhere without a book in hand. I grew up in Ohio, moved around a bit, and eventually put down roots in Austin, TX. Along the way, my love of reading naturally turned to an interest in writing. Publishing wasn’t something I rushed into. My words lived on paper, sometimes curled and torn or saved on a computer labeled poetry or reflections. I finally took the leap in 2018 when I self-published The Christmas Pajamas. A sweet holiday story for my family. I also have several poems published through the Library of Congress. Now, with the release of Talbot The Tooth, Just A Little Wiggly, I’m thrilled to share my first children’s book with the world. My writing goals are simple but meaningful: to write stories that encourage curiosity, laughter, and kindness—books that families can weave into cherished bedtime routines for generations to come. Within the pages of a book, you can be or do anything. Welcome to Whimsy’s Edge Books.
