Skype an Author Iowa Wild Rose Award-2010 Welcome to my web site. I'm very pleased that my book Stumptown Kid, a sports-mystery/suspense novel set in the 1950s, has become a popular book in intermediate and middle schools.  Now in paperback.
	Another of my books, Games: A Tale of Two Bullies is often included in anti-bullying reading lists but remains popular on its own. Those of you who have enjoyed meeting Jerry Flack (from the Dork novels), Lizard Flanagan (from the Lizard Flanagan novels), Malcolm Wylie (from Jennifer-the-Jerk Is Missing) and Chelsey Bernard (from Chelsey and the Green-Haired Kid) will also enjoy meeting Luther and Charlie Nebraska (Stumptown Kid) and Mick and Boot (Games: A Tale of Two Bullies). Thanks for visiting and come back often.
