A Little Trouble Goes A Long Way

coming December 2025

Middle Grade

Scratch and Peck Tinker may be tiny, but they are BIG trouble. Despite being six inches tall, they still manage to accidentally turn a leaky faucet into a gushing geyser, scare a chicken so bad she lays an egg, and land in barnyard jail after a misunderstanding leaves the farm’s celebrity pig, Bigelow, with yolk on his face. 

When the brothers cause one too many problems, they start to think the farm would be better off without them. But their runaway plans are interrupted when they stumble on something far worse: a strange contraption in the barn that’s sabotaging Farmer Hatley’s crops. If they don’t solve the mystery fast, the farm could go under and Bigelow could end up as bacon.

With the farm’s future—and the pig’s life—on the line, tracking down the culprit without causing any more chaos might be their biggest challenge yet.

Middle Grade

Co-written with one of my all-time favorite humans, Jeff Bradley, and based on one of his old pitches for an animated television series.

Mercury Wells Middle School is located smack-dab in the middle of the multiverse, where space and time are stretched just a little too thin. Seventh-grader Ozzy Hawkes has the ability to manipulate the rifts, but that doesn’t mean he should.

When he forgets to do his history project, Ozzy pulls over the real Albert Einstein to help him throw together a presentation. But the portal effect dominoes, and soon Ozzy finds himself surrounded by weirdos from other dimensions as he uncovers the principal’s evil plan to become the Almighty Queen of the Multiverse!

How is a kid who can’t even keep up with his homework supposed to clean up this mess? He should have just taken the zero…

A chapter book, for my younger readers

This book is based on the IRL Stu the Whistling Duck who lives at the Busch Wildlife Sanctuary. There’s nothing wrong with the real Stu, per se, except he… doesn’t like other ducks!

The real Stu’s wanderings led him (repeatedly) to the produce section inside the local grocery store, where he’d help himself to endless snacks while he chatted with the customers. Multiple attempts were made to reintroduce Stu to the local flock of black-bellied whistling ducks, but he always found his way back to the grocery store. Turns out, he just prefers the company of humans.

Intended to be a series about finding your people—literally. In the first installment, Stu wanders into town and joins the local elementary school children for field day. Spoiler: His natural talent for ducking helps him win the class a first-place ribbon in dodgeball.
