CURRENT MISSION

Meeting new people!

ABOUT ME

I am originally from Boston Massachusetts and moved to Tucson in Nov.'10. I just relocated to San Francisco in the middle of January.
I am a cartoonist and have worked as a children's librarian for several years. I am interested in meeting new people in California! I am also interested in meeting other illustrators, artists and writers.
Oh, I have a website here:

Books:
I am definitely a book person. To me this means a lot of children's books,illustrated books, picture books, young adult fiction and graphic novels. I am also a fan of the classics (Jules Verne!). But I tend to be more drawn to obscure writers from the 1950's-1970's.
A few that I have had a major crush on are:
Kin Platt, Barbara Wersba, Paul Zindel, Theodora Keogh, Frank Bonham, Randy Powell.

Teach, Learn, Share
