Complied below is a comprehensive list of all of my writings, including children’s series, children’s books, novels, teen series, poetry and essays.   Those highlighted in bold are published;  the rest remain in handwritten form in hundreds of paper notebooks.   Those stories with asterisks remain close to my heart.    I started writing stories when I was about 7 or 8 years old.   I am now 32 so these titles are more than just titles;  they represent decades of my heart and soul.
