To Tame a Beast

This is "Beauty and the Beast" before it became a fairy tale,

when the magic is ugly and punishing--no fine clothes, no

feasts. Breaking the curse draws blood. YA

Fishing for Presents

A story about the pursuit of a perfect Christmas present, one

with price tags that smells new and is professionally gift

wrapped, in which our ten-year-old hero ends up grounded for the rest of his life. MG

First three chapters*

Blue Moo

A novel about the difference between the family we are born

to and the family we make for ourselves. And cows. (I'm from Minnesota; we know cows.) MG

*I am in the midst of extensive revisions per a note from an

editor at G.P. Putnam's Sons. (Yay!) In other words, I do not

like the "old" first three chapters enough to post them, and I

am not yet happy with the "new" first three chapters. So

there is nothing for now.
