I write books for awesome kids (that’s you). I have a work desk where I’m supposed to write. But I can usually be found on my couch with my laptop on my lap covered in a cozy blanket because I’m almost always cold. When I’m not writing books, I love to learn new things about the outdoors and chase my own kids on hiking trails in California. (They are way faster than I am.)
