Poetry Pod: Water with a Twist of Sublime
I’ll admit, Poetry Pod was the most intimidating book for me to write in the FROG series. Fortunately, my local writing community is full of seasoned poets who generously contributed to this collection. Featuring haiku, lyric, narrative, and prose, this book is a blend of my first poetry endeavors and their expert guidance. Even self-proclaimed poetry skeptics have found something to love in this final installment of the FROG series!
Tadpoles: Tiny Tales from Freshwater Adventures
In Tadpoles, the fourth book in the FROG series, I teamed up with 13 incredible teen and tween authors. Together, we created a collection of candid stories, each 300 words or less, that invites readers to explore life through curiosity and uncanny (sometimes supernatural) events. Dive in and join us for this fresh literary adventure!
Knee Deep: A 9-Month Whirlpool of Handwritten Letters to the Creator
Knee Deep is my most courageous project in the FROG series. This book contains personal letters, handwritten during a challenging and reflective period in my life. Each letter is an intimate glimpse into the thoughts and feelings laid on my heart as I navigated this season. Understanding the need for brevity, I’ve written each piece to stand alone or be read as part of the collection.
Unthawed: Lessons from a Frozen Lily Pad
Unthawed is the second book in the FROG series, featuring short, stand-alone chapters that share uniquely brave perspectives on personal experiences and observations. With contributions from 12 other authors, this collection is packed with honesty, variety, and adventure. Together, we explore life’s lessons and blessings, revealing how we’ve adapted and recovered from life’s unexpected twists.
The FROG Blog: Learning on a Lily Pad
The FROG Blog: Learning on a Lily Pad is the first book in the FROG Blog series. In it, I share 77 one-page stories, complemented by 23 contributions from other authors offering their own delicate slice-of-life experiences. Readers often tell me they use these 500-word (or less) candid reflections as daily inspiration to teach and motivate them.
Life’s Too Short for Dull Razors, Cheap Pens, and Worn-Out Underwear
My debut book, Life’s Too Short for Dull Razors, Cheap Pens, and Worn-Out Underwear, began as a response to a double dog dare. A longtime close friend challenged me to publish a book about my thoughts while running long distances. This collection of musings is written with down-to-earth bravado, humor, wisdom, and unapologetic personality.
