I love to read. I love to write. And I think kids are the best! So writing books for young readers and having them published is a dream come true for me. Maybe you’ve experienced that same feeling–the one you get when you score the goal or play that tricky part in the piano piece perfectly. It’s a good feeling.

      Great to know! If you like Seconds you might want to watch for Running Behind coming out this fall. It’s the story of what happens once Jake and the team get to the big race. Keep reading!

    I remember in grade 3 (a long time ago) I got my book signed by you at the forest of reading festival in downtown Toronto. It was a fun time 🙂
