About the author

I'm just a small-town 2nd-grade teacher who loves to write. I've always had an affinity for reading fairytales, and the classic fairytales inspire many of my story ideas. When I am not writing, I enjoy reading and spending time with my family and dogs.

Book Descriptions 

Mariana, a high school senior, is suddenly sucked into the fairytale land of Fairyvale by a book she was given for an English project. Things get a little weird when she is pulled into a tale with Jack of Jack and the Beanstalk. Weirder still, the book pulls her back to her home with Jack in tow. Soon, they discover Fairyvale is in danger, and they may be the only ones who can save it. Together, they must work together to figure out exactly what is going on, why the tales are mixing up, and what is happening to missing characters. Can they save a world Mariana never knew existed, or will they also fall prey to the evil plaguing Fairyvale?


This is the first book in the Reader Between the Lines trilogy.

The adventure continues as Mariana and Jack return to Fairyvale. Between trying to figure out how to defeat the Teller, they have to repair the tales he has messed up. The more they fix, the more goes wrong. The only thing Mariana knows for sure is she is falling for her best friend against her better judgement. Will they be able to figure out how to stop the Teller before more things go wrong? Before Fairyvale falls?

In the final book of the Reader Between the Lines saga, Mariana and her friends are called back to Fairyvale just as all the tales go dark. They must find a way to defeat Jiminy and Jafar, or everything they know will be lost. Will they be able to save Fairyvale in time, or will Mariana finally succumb to the Snow Queen's curse?

A missing prince, a curse of missing memories, and a lost mermaid.
