My first book, “Brainbow,” was put together using family photos, as a therapy of sorts, to help me remember my life before my accident. My second book, “Aurora’s Brain,” attempts to bring the concept of the brain to the conscious level. “Aurora’s Dream” attempts to bring the important life concepts of senses, thinking, and learning to the conscious level for readers. Then it “zooms” in on the also important concepts of healthy, happy, and hungry. It is through research and therapy for brain-injured patients that breakthroughs in Neuroscience occur. With my simple understanding of how my own brain works, gleaned from putting my brain and life back together after temporarily losing everything I had ever learned or knew, I created a picture language that I call “Circlatin”. I used Circlatin to teach myself how to think again and make the many decisions necessary to reprogram my scrambled computer brain. I’m hoping that with Circlatin, wonderful artwork or a circle to go with each paragraph, and a few helping words from me that I can inspire elementary students to want to gain a better understanding of their own brains. Maybe they will want to reprogram their brains like Aurora did. Maybe after reading “Aurora’s Dream” they will want to learn to draw their brains, thoughts and feelings with Circlatin so that they can “see” what they are thinking before they think, speak and act. We can’t “see” our brains, or feel them beating as we can with our hearts, but our brain controls everything we do! “If we could build a computer that could do everything our brain can do, it would be as tall as a skyscraper!” Kathy Elgin, “The Human Brain”

What if the sleeping beauty never woke up? Once Upon a Dream marks the second book in a new YA line that reimagines classic Disney stories in surprising new ways. It should be simple--a dragon defeated, a slumbering princess in a castle, a prince poised to wake her.

With a desperate fairy's last curse controlling her mind, Princess Aurora must escape from a different castle of thorns and navigate a dangerously magical landscape--created from her very own dreams. Aurora isn't alone--a charming prince is eager to join her quest, and old friends offer their help. But as Maleficent's agents follow her every move, Aurora struggles to discover who her true allies are and, moreover, who she truly is. Time is running out. Will the sleeping beauty be able to wake herself up?

The novel embraces food as a communal practice with the ability to heal a family through storytelling.
