I'm a veterinarian, mom and writer. I've published many nonfiction articles in magazines for children (AppleSeeds and ASK) and adults (including Veterinary Economics and HealthyPet). The Corgi Chronicles is my first novel.

Corgis are a big-eared, short-legged herding dog breed from Great Britain. (The Queen of England has had dozens of corgis over the years.) In Welsh mythology, fairies ride on corgis because they are too small to ride on horses. My personal pet corgi, Pippin (named after the hobbit in Lord of the Rings), inspired the story.
