The series
Educational Activity Book for Children
All five volumes are hand-written and hand-illustrated — a labor of love that has been accepted into the Library of Congress and is available online globally. Each book turns practice into play with fruit puzzles, telling time, opposites, hidden pictures, cursive, and more.


Secret in the River
Tallis learned at a young age to trust only her five senses. She spent years trying to decode a past she remembers with daily emotional invalidation — and wanting to share her secret and fix her mistake became her life's obsession, until fate intervened.
A fictional, suspenseful novella described as brilliant, with a fresh twist of writing.
