Being so inspired by life and heart, I love to inspire others, too. So many people drift through life not realizing just how special they are and not seeing their own gifts.

We're all here for a reason; we all have a part in this larger community around us, in the oneness where we live. Children need to know this and learn what their gifts are so they can explore the world through their own special ways. As an author of children's book, I like to guide children to this knowledge. Books should be fun and emotional, sure, but within that fun emotional rollercoaster, I love to show children that they are here to be just who they are and that their unique talents can bring joy to everyone.

Yelf is just this sort of little guy. He's cute; he's cuddly; he's warm. But he just doesn't compare to the other Yetis in the village who all have talents that show their love of their village. So, what good is a useless Yeti?

Unlike many of my stories, this one is not written in rhyme. It's currently being prepared for release on November 27, which is special not only because it's a holiday, but because it was also my mom's birthday. And, since Yelf's mom plays a huge role in his self discovery journey, this book is dedicated to my mom, who did the same for me.

Be on the lookout for Yelf as he joins my growing list of picture books for young readers on 11/27/2025!
