More About the Author
I was born in Chicago, but grew up in Sacramento, CA. After I graduated from Stanford University, I worked in the Midwest as a newspaper reporter, a hospital PR director, and the assistant director of a convention and visitors bureau. I began writing books for children when my youngest son was born, and collected 156 rejections before my first book sale six years later. In the 1990s, I published seventeen books for young readers, including eight as lead author of the Magic Attic Club. After a long period of loss and writer's block, I earned my MFA in Writing for Children at Vermont College. My critical thesis was entitled "Good Grief: Making Death and Bereavement Authentic for Middle Grade Readers." GIVING UP THE GHOST is the first published book of my "second career." It was inspired by my mother's eight-and-a-half-year battle with Stage 4B endometrial cancer, my own work as a hospice volunteer, and a love affair with New Orleans that began when our middle son attended Tulane.

A Kid's Review
This review is from: Heather, Belle Of The Ball (Magic Attic Club) (Hardcover)
Heather was invited to Tiffney's birthday party but Keisha, Megan, and Allison weren't. They say the only reason Tiffney's inviting Heather is because Heather's Mom is a reporter. When Heather gets upset, she goes to her neighbor Ellie's house because she has a magic attic. Heather tries on a beautiful pink ball gown and is transported to England. There she meets Lisbeth, a servant at the taylor shop, and Heather invites her to go to the ball. When they get there, Lisbeth is accused of stealing a necklace. Will Heather stick up for her friend?
