By the time he was 11 years old, his neurologist gave him an extremely poor lifelong prognosis.

One of my favorite things when writing children's books is when my wonderful and talented illustrator, Kyra Teis , takes my notes and creates the characters and illustrations for the picture book. It's so exciting to see my ideas come to life, and to have the beginning artwork take shape. My next book will focus on jealousy in children in late 2024.

From Resiliency Mental Health : “On January 1, 2024, Florida enacted a new law, and I hate it. The so-called ‘ Special Persons Registry ‘ gives Florida police the right to make lists of residents based on their disability status, including those with formal diagnoses of Downs Syndrome, dementia, autism, and others. Supposedly this will ‘improve relations’ between these individuals and police.
