I'm a former TV journalist now writing books for young people. I tell the stories of little-known women whose strength and courage helped shape our history. My work aims to shine a light in shadowy forgotten corners and empower us all to use our voices, and to work constructively for what we believe. ​My books earned starred reviews and are named on lists for the Notable Social Studies Books for Young People, Bank Street College Best Children's Books, NY Public Library Best Books for Teens and the Amelia Bloomer Project . Awards include the SPUR Award for Best Juvenile Fiction and a nomination for the Washington State Book Award. Each of my books started with a discovery, an unexpected find of a historical person or persons that I think everyone should know about. My newest book, Close Up On War is no exception. ​​ CLOSE UP ON WAR AVAILABLE FOR PRE-ORDER NOW
