Author, aviation historian, speaker, graphic novelist

My book, Sisters in the Air, is a double biography about historically significant but forgotten pioneer aviators Louise Thaden and Phoebe Omlie.

I studied graphic novel writing under award-winning graphic novelist, Lee Nordling, and fell in love with the format. I’ve completed a young adult/adult historical fiction graphic novel and a middle grade graphic novel. I’m busy working on a third.
