I write about parenting, gifted children, education, homeschooling, and other subjects. My first book, Taking Your Gifted Learner out of School, will be published by Great Potential Press this fall. I also write for a number of other publications, including Examiner.com.
My blog, Avant Parenting, explores the life of parenting precocious kids. My image of homeschooling my kids is me running along behind them, throwing tidbits of ideas I think will interest them and hoping the ideas will land in their paths.
You can find me at the annual California Adventures in Homeschooling conference and the California Association for the Gifted Conference.

I am currently writing children's fiction, with two finished manuscripts seeking homes: A picture book called "The House with the Winking Eyes" and a chapter book called "Hanna, Homeschooler." Please direct inquiries to my agent, Terrie Wolf.
I tend to write fiction that does not adhere to received wisdom about "what fiction should be." I enjoy turning a reader's expectations on end, because that is when people really start to think.
