Hi there and thanks for visiting! This site contains information about me and my work. I'm a writer of assorted things, including more than thirty-five books for children. I'm also a freelance children's book editor and editor-at-large at an educational resources company.

Please click the links at left for more. I hope you enjoy looking around and that you'll come back soon to see what's new!

November 11, 2007 - Updated what I'm reading, added some links to my blog (where you can now find a regularly updated list of events and appearances under "Where I'll Be" in the right-hand column), and updated the lists of translations and awards on the Library Lion page.

This site tends to look best when viewed with Internet Explorer. If you find any broken links or have suggestions for this site, please let me know! - mk
